Constable Mooken described what happened:

“I don’t know where exactly on the road they were (the child). All I know is that, tragically, they were on the road when they were struck by the vehicle, and subsequently was dragged for a period of a short distance, which led to the tragic circumstances where we’re in at this moment.”

The driver of the vehicle that has struck the boy is with the police. He has remained on the scene after the accident.

Mooken concluded:

“We are appealing for anyone with any information on this incident, anyone that may have witnessed that has dashcam footage, to contact investigators from our Major Collisions Bureau or to provide information through CrimeStoppers.”
