A five year old boy is accidentally backed over by a neighbor’s car and killed. It happened in a neighborhood near 48th Street North and Elwood. Police are calling it a tragic accident, they say the driver didn’t see the boy. Tulsa Public Schools Spokesman Chris Payne says the youngster was a student at the Bunche Early Childhood Education Center.
He says grief counselors will be made available, but only if parents request it. He says with children as young as the victims’ classmates, it’s best not to be too pro-active, and let parents decide the level of comfort needed.
