"I saw this happen from my apt. It was the most heart breaking and terrifying thing I've ever witnessed. I ran over to the child to provide cpr but they were awake at that time so I turned around to avoid just being in the way. When I found out they died this morning I cried. I'm an MD and have seen some stuff but this was different."
"At this point everyone is screaming at the driver to reverse. She decided to go forward a bit and stops. This is when I hear the CHILD screaming and I instantly screamed myself and the driver decides to go forward again immediately stopping on that child's face/chest. Then decided to go forward all the way completely running over this child's body."
"bystanders smashed the drivers back window as she was supposably [sic] almost trying to take off."
