One-year-old boy in Cebu City dies after mom pushes him into path of SUV

A one-year-old boy in Cebu City was killed when his mother allegedly pushed him away and he ended up being run over by a sports utility vehicle (SUV).

According to Joy Tumulak, operations head of the Cebu City Traffic Office (CCTO), witnesses said that the boy’s mother was drinking liquor at a store along New Imus Road when the incident happened.

“The boy reportedly had been following the mother, who kept pushing him away. At one point, the boy fell on the pavement and was run over by an Isuzu Altera, which was turning right to New Imus Road from an access road in Barangay Lorega San Miguel. The vehicle had come from the interior of the barangay to deliver mangoes,” reports Doris C. Bongcac on Philippine Daily Inquirer.

Meanwhile, the boy’s mother has been taken into custody by the CCTO. She may be turned over to the police to face charges in relation to her son’s death.
