How does a one year old get hit by a car without the mother and father also getting hit?


I cannot imagine the grief and horror the family is going through. I pray they eventually find peace after mourning ♥


There are SO many scenarios that could have occurred. Criticism is not appropriate at this time. This is the greatest fear and nightmare possible for families. My heart aches for their loss. Rest in peace little one, may you play with the angels in heaven.


This is in infant. How is this possible?


Narcissistic drivers don’t care who they maim and kill. Their Ego is supreme.
