A 10-year-old boy has been killed in a second vicious traffic accident, days after a Sichuan driver was arrested on suspicion of deliberately killing a 3-year-old boy. A truck knocked a woman and her son down after it turned left onto a road on Saturday afternoon in Chengdu, the capital city of southwestern China's Sichuan Province. After the driver ran the pair over, the woman was lying between the wheels while her son was wedged in front of a back wheel. The driver did not get out of his vehicle but reversed the truck. Witnesses say they thought the driver was trying to release the boy until he unexpectedly started to drive forward.
