Toddler Killed by Unattended E-rickshaw in Delhi
Imagine a little electric car that was parked outside.
The person who usually drives it left it there with the keys still inside.
While it was parked, a slightly older kid, who was about eight years old, climbed into the car and accidentally pushed a button that made the car start moving!
Sadly, the car rolled forward and hit a very young child, only two years old, who was playing nearby.
The little boy was very badly hurt and didn't survive.
The driver of the electric car is now in trouble with the police because they believe it wasn't safe to leave the car like that.
A two-year-old boy died after being run over by an e-rickshaw in Delhi's Burari.
The incident occurred when an eight-year-old boy accidentally started the parked e-rickshaw by pressing the accelerator.
The e-rickshaw was left unattended by its driver, Rajaram, with the key in the ignition.
The injured toddler was rushed to a hospital but was declared dead on arrival.
An FIR has been registered against the e-rickshaw driver for causing death by negligence.
