    That's a horrible story.I can't even imagine what the little boys family is going thru,especially his brother.Sounds like while the truck driver was making a left turn the boy tried crossing the street and ran over him.According to police the trucker has a pretty good driving record starting 20 yrs ago.

    This is so sad !, but don't think for one second it couldn't happen to any of us out there driving! It only takes 1 second , I'm praying for both families.

    Such a sad lost for the family, and to watch this happen to your brother...The driver was clearly distracted to not see 4 kids Walking their bikes across the street.

    There have been a lot of pedestrians hit in all kinds of areas. It seems to be in some cases, elderly persons that were 67 and above.

    It is just hard to wrap the mind around how someone misses that many kids.
