A two-year-old boy has been seriously injured after he was run over by a car on a driveway in Clarington.
Police said the incident happened on a private driveway on Perry Avenue in Hampton, which is a community in Clarington, on Thursday morning.
It's believed the boy was at the bottom of the driveway when he was struck by a truck, knocked down and run over.
His injuries are believed to be serious but non-life threatening.
Mark Campbell told CTV News Toronto that he witnessed the incident, calling it “pretty traumatic.”
The construction worker said he was standing about 20 feet away when he saw the driver of the vehicle reverse out of the driveway, turn the wheel and proceed forward. Campbell said that he heard a child scream and went running towards the car.
“The front bumper struck the child, because the child ran out and he didn’t see the child and just ran him over.”
As the driver carried the boy into the home, Campbell said he called police.
Police said the boy was airlifted to hospital, where he remains in a stable condition.
