Garbage Truck Accident Kills Boy In San Diego
Jun 20th, 2010 by RichmondJ
A garbage truck in San Diego hit a boy crossing the street on Saturday morning in a horrible truck-pedestrian accident. The accident took place at around noon, killing the boy, who would have been turning 3 in the coming months.
On the 1100 Block of South 43rd and Keeler, the young boy ran into the street into the path of the garbage truck. The boy was with his mother, who was placing him into her car alongside his brother. When the boy spotted his father across the street, he ran into traffic too quickly for his mother to stop him.
The truck driver, who according to reports, was moving at 20 miles an hour, is an employee of Allied Waste. He was accompanied by a passenger, a fellow worker. As they continued along the road, the passenger saw the boy run into the street, alerting the driver, but they were unable to stop in time. The garbage truck struck the boy, pinning him below.
The boy died on the scene. According to last reports, authorities are still investigating this garbage truck-pedestrian accident.
