Kimberley – A one-year-old girl was crushed when a truck, travelling down Nobengula Street in Galeshewe, drove over a pavement, instantly killing the toddler who was playing on the sidewalk.

According to the mother of the girl, she heard a scream, ran out of the house and saw her daughter’s bloody body laying between the front and rear wheels of the truck. Her head was crushed in the accident.

It is believed that the 54-year-old driver of the truck did not see the girl playing in front of her house near the pavement because she was sitting down.
