An 18-month-old boy has died after his father accidentally crushed him with a car while reversing.

Dan Mutuma, a Kenyan nurse in Kansas City, crushed his son Mishael to death last week. He was not aware the toddler had sneaked behind the vehicle.

According to Mutuma’s brother-in-law Ezra Kamencu, the mother-in-law was in the kitchen while his wife was tending to their twin children.

“It is so painful to the entire family and especially to the father to have crushed his own son.

“There is no way he could have seen the kid who was playing behind. The child had run unnoticed behind the vehicle as the father was reversing,” he divulged.

Police in the area opened investigations into the matter but it is understood that the father will not face any criminal charges.
