Tow Truck Driver Runs Over Toddler

A 21-month year old toddler was struck and killed by a tow truck driver on a busy roadway in Chelsea, Maine. The toddler, named Majesty, had wandered away from a front yard play area. Maine State Police say the 62-year-old driver, who was towing a vehicle at the time, didn't realize the child was in the road until it was too late.  The child’s foster mother said that she had gone into the house to grab some laundry when Majesty was hit.  

According to state police, the driver says the girl was lying in the road. Roderick says two young women stopped and tried to save Majesty. One of them knocked on her door after paramedics got there. 

Authorities reported that the tow truck driver was not speeding, and informed that the roadway is dangerous. State police continue to investigate.
