Absolutely Crushed By What Happened

Thomas, a two year old boy, was dragged under a heavy-weight truck, but amazingly survived. The buggy he had been sitting in was also dragged under and ripped to pieces. At the hospital his mother, Laura, was told that even if he survived, he could have brain damage or be partly paralyzed. His mother says she cannot say exactly what happened: “Suddenly the pram ­handles were ripped out of my hands,” she ­said. “I heard a ­horrible crack and it ­disappeared under the wheels.” Luckily, a nurse was nearby and after a quick look at the boy, she knew he was alright. How this terrible event could have occurred is still unsure. Police are researching the event and also if the red light was on.

Even though it is absolutely terrible what happened to the little boy, I cannot wrap my mind across the fact that he got under a truck. I cannot imagine how that could happen with the mother holding onto the handles of the buggy. Maybe the mother was standing too close to the roadside? Nevertheless, it is strange. You would think that the mother would take extra caution and not stand too close to the road. I am not saying that it is her fault, because these things happen too often. However, if it were my child, I would look ten times before crossing the street, just to be sure.
