Tragic Incident: 2-Year-Old Playing Outside Home Crushed by Neighbour’s Car Wheels in Kanpur

The driver didn’t stop even after the impact and crushed the girl under the wheels. She died on the spot. A motorbike was also seen passing her by before the car knocked her down. The toddler was sitting on the road when her neighbor’s car approached her.

She stood up when it came very close to her, but the car hit her before she could move away, as shown in the CCTV footage. Her family, residing in the Barra 7 area of Kanpur for the last ten years, was inside the house as she lay motionless on the road covered in her blood. “He hit my child with his car and drove away. He should have taken her (to a hospital) for humanity’s sake,” said Rohit Singh, the girl’s father.

Mr. Singh said that the car belonged to one of their neighbors. A crowd gathered at the spot as the police arrived to investigate the incident. The accused and his car have been missing since the accident. The video of the incident showed the child sitting outside her house along with her mother when she was hit by the car.

The driver ran her over while trying to park the car. The details were provided with inputs from Arun Agarwal.
