A 2.5 year old toddler with the initials YKA died after being hit and run over by his neighbor's Fortuner car, on Saturday (25/5/2024), at the T-junction in the Quality Riverside Housing Park, Gamping Village, Krian, Sidoarjo.

Hanif, the local chairman of RT 29 RW 06, said that the incident occurred on Saturday afternoon at around 16.30 WIB. At that time, the conditions around the Quality Riverside Housing Park T-junction were busy with residents' activities.

According to Hanif, the victim was going to play after bathing. YKA was previously sitting on a park bench facing north. Not long after, the victim got up from his seat and walked west.

Meanwhile, from the south or the entrance to the Block B cluster, AC's (32 year old) neighbor's Pajero car was passing by. Then the fast moving white car suddenly hit the victim.

"That's my position, I'm playing volleyball with the guys. "Well, someone saw (the victim was hit) and then screamed," said Hanif, Sunday (26/5/2024).

YKA was hit by the front right body of the Fortuner and then bounced to the left. Then when the car turned right, the 2.5 year old boy was run over by the front and rear tires on the left side. The car then stopped exactly four meters after its left rear tire ran over the victim's body.

"Gentlemen stopped the driver, the victim was already limp, there was a little blood," he said.

Seeing this incident, residents immediately carried the victim's body and called his parents. Hanif said that at that time his parents were in the house.

“Both parents are at home. "The mother was hysterical when she saw her child, who was carrying her," he added.

According to Haif, the Fortuner driver admitted that he did not know that the victim was crossing. AC also admitted that he was shocked that he had run over the 2.5 year old boy.

The victim, who was lying limp, was immediately taken by AC's car to the Yapalis Islamic Hospital. However, YKA reportedly died when she arrived at the emergency room.

From there, residents already reported it to the police. Then the victim was taken to Anwar Medika Hospital for a post-mortem.
