2 yr old girl's head crushed by neighbor's moving pick-up
A family in Barangay Bakhaw, Mandurriao, Iloilo City is in grief following a freak accident yesterday morning that took the life of a 2 year old girl.
The suspect turned himself in to the Mandurriao police as he expressed remorse over the incident. Minutes before it occurred, the suspect told RMN 774 Iloilo that he even greeted the girl's mother who was carrying the little girl.
He failed to see the 2 year-old go towards his Frontier pick-up when he boarded to leave and was surprised when a male bystander yelled for him to stop. The little girl was then pulled from his front tire as neighbors rushed to flag down passing motorists.
The suspect was then mauled by irate witnesses as he made a dash for cover. Responding police recovered an empty shell believed to have been used to fire at the suspect's vehicle.
The victim was pronounced dead on arrival by attending physicians at the Western Visayas Medical Center (WVMC).
