A one-year-old boy was killed after he was run over by Sports Utility Vehicle after he was allegedly pushed by his mother along the New Imus Road in Cebu City past 11 a.m. on Monday.
Joy Tumulak, operations head of the Cebu City Traffic Office (CCTO), said they now have in their custody the boy’s mother after witnesses claimed that she pushed her own son toward the approaching Isuzu Altera with plate number YFX 409.
Tumulak said witnesses claimed that the boy’s mother was drinking liquor at the store located along the road when the incident happened.
Tumulak said the boy was following the mother who kept on pushing her son away.
The boy fell on the pavement and was run over by the SUV which was maneuvering a right turn to New Imus Road from an access road in Barangay Lorega San Miguel. The front wheel severed the boy’s head.
Tumulak said the vehicle’s driver came from the interior of the barangay to deliver mangoes.
