A five-year-old Melbourne boy has died after being hit by a truck driven by a man who knew him.
The driver was reversing his truck in a residential street when it struck the boy at 5.50pm yesterday in Melton South, the Herald Sun reports.
Paramedics were called but the boy died at the scene.
Senior Constable Craig Kelso told the newspaper the driver was “pretty badly shaken” up by the incident.
He said the boy’s relatives were “all very distraught” as they were on the street at the time of the incident.
Police are continuing to investigate the incident. The death brings the pedestrian road toll to 39, higher than the 27 deaths at the same time last year.
