He hurriedly picked the documents, bid his wife Loise, who was tending to their young twins and mother in law goodbye, and quickly left the house when the unfortunate incident happened.
“It is so painful to the entire family and especially to the father to have crushed his own son. There is no way he could have seen the kid who was playing behind. The child had run unnoticed behind the vehicle as the father was reversing,"
