Boy Backs Over, Kills 4-Year-Old Sister On Driveway
2-Year-Old Accidentally Puts SUV In Gear
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- A 4-year-old Broadmoor Bluffs girl died after her 2-year-old brother, playing in the driver's seat, put the family vehicle in gear and backed over her as she played in their driveway.
Police said Adreanna Cook was standing behind the 2001 GMC Yukon as her mother washed the vehicle at their home on the 700 block of Elk Glen Court around 5:15 p.m Saturday.
The vehicle was parked on a steep incline, and the ignition was on so the girl's mother could listen to the radio as she cleaned the truck, police said.
The mother was standing outside the sport utility vehicle, just behind the girl, when the truck started rolling. She was unable to stop the truck from rolling over her daughter because of the steep grade of the driveway, said police officer Bob Vigio.
The SUV came to a stop at a neighbor's front yard.
Adreanna was pronounced dead a short time later at Memorial Hospital. She suffered massive head and body injuries.
Neighbor Marilyn Gandy said the family's 5-year-old daughter tried to comfort the family Sunday. She told her mom everything would be all right and told her grandmother she saw a bright star and that it was Adreanna, Gandy said.
