Four-year-old dies in apparent car accident

Police in the Chrudim area are investigating the circumstances in the tragic death of a four-year-old boy in the area who was run over by his mother as she was practicing at the wheel of her car, the news website tn.cz reported. The accident took place on Thursday evening. Police are not revealing any details about the incident but the head doctor at emergency services revealed that the mother made a critical mistake when she opted to take the boy home rather than immediately calling an ambulance. When emergency workers were alerted, they tried to assist at least over the phone before an ambulance as well as helicopter arrived. At that point it was too late: medics were unable to resuscitate the child, who succumbed to his injuries. An autopsy has been ordered to determine the exact cause of death as well as to help establish the exact circumstances in the incident.
