BEXAR COUNTY — Deputies say a 28-year-old mother accidentally backed over her small child while leaving for work Wednesday morning.
The mom allegedly dropped the 2-year-old boy off at her sister's house in the 188800 block of Senior Road around 6:30 a.m. and hit the child as she backed out of the driveway.
Bexar County Deputy Dennis Casillas said the boy broke free from his aunt and was hit as he ran out into the driveway to say goodbye to his mom.
"The aunt was 26 years old and she made an attempt to run after her child but she fell down the stairs and hurt her foot," Casillas said.
Emergency responders tried extensively to revive the child but were unsuccessful.
"The aunt was 26 years-old and she made an attempt to run after her child but she fell down the stairs and hurt her foot," Casillas said.
The childs name was not immediately released,
"It appears right now it is an accident," Casillas said. "Very unfortunate."
