Toddler dies after mother accidentally drives over him
A tragic incident involving a mother who accidentally drove over her 3-year-old boy in the Free State on Monday was reported earlier today (Wednesday 22 March 2017). Netwerk24 reports that the mother drove over her son at a workshop on a farm in Rooiport.
“She was unaware that she had run over him, and only went back when someone phoned her,” says Netwerk24.
The father attempted CPR and later disclosed that his son was ‘probably already dead then’. They then rushed their son to the hospital where he was declared dead on arrival.

The child’s mother took to social media saying that she hadn’t seen the child when the incident took place and said that she deserves whatever punishment comes her way.
“AJ, mamma is so terribly sorry. I promise, I didn’t see you. You don’t have to forgive me. I miss you terribly. I can’t say how sorry I am. I love you with everything I have.”
This is a devastatingly tragic incident and we’d like to send our thoughts and condolences to the family and friends of those involved.
