A toddler was killed by a car after he wandered out of his holiday home - when his parents thought he was sleeping. The 21-month-old boy was knocked down by a Jeep shortly after 9am yesterday, near the village of Ballinagare in Ireland's County Roscommon.
The youngster's parents are believed to have travelled to Ireland on holiday from the UK and were staying with family members when the tragedy struck, reports the Mirror. The child had left his bed and wandered out of the house on his own while his parents were still asleep, the Irish Mirror reports.
It's thought the collision happened when a driver didn't see the child as he entered the area near to where the toddler had been staying. He then immediately alerted the residents of the nearby house after he realised what had happened.
