LOS ANGELES — Authorities are investigating the death of a toddler who wandered onto an East Los Angeles street and was run over by a sports utility vehicle.
The California Highway Patrol says the 2-year-old from Bakersfield was playing on the sidewalk Saturday when he ran into the street and into the path of a Chevy Tahoe.
The driver of the SUV, 43-year-old Carlos Sanchez of Long Beach, was traveling between 10 and 15 mph.
It was not immediately known who was supposed to be watching after the boy.
Typical media anti-SUV bias...what the hell difference does it make if the kid was hit by a SUV or a Smartcar? A two year old stands no chance in a contest against ANY motor vehicle. Period. So why do they insist on even posting this story exept that he was hit by a guy driving a Tahoe. Save me the crap about visiblity and height and so on. Stand a child in front of any car and see if you can see him...The real problem here is that somebody was not paying attention to where the child was...
