An 18-month-old boy was killed when he was run over by a neighbor’s car in a Flatbush driveway yesterday shortly after 5 p.m., reports the New York Times.
The boy was taken to Kings County Hospital Center, where he was pronounced dead on arrival. The neighbor, who was backing the car out on East 26th Street near Avenue I, was unaware of the accident and drove away from the scene.
It is unclear whether the toddler was being supervised when he was hit. No charges are expected to be filed against the neighbor, the police said.
