PAHOKEE, Fla. — Authorities say a 15-month-old is dead after a vehicle backed over him while he was playing in a driveway in Pahokee.
It happened Monday around 9:45 a.m. in the 600 block of Amaryliss Avenue, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.
The driver, 29-year-old Antonio Milian, said that as he was backing up, he felt a bump and heard yelling. When he opened the door and got out, he saw the child trapped underneath the passenger side of the vehicle, a PBSO report said.
The child, identified as Tremain Milian, was taken to St. Mary's Medical Center where he was later pronounced dead.
Investigators indicated that alcohol or drugs may have been a factor in the crash, but no charges have been filed in the case just yet.
