Elsies Rivier police are investigating a culpable homicide and reckless and negligent driving case, after a toddler was killed by a speeding vehicle in Leonsdale, on Tuesday. The four-year-old girl, identified as Amy Bell, was being taken to crèche at the time of the incident.
PICTURE: PixabayWard councillor, Franchesca Walker, says a woman (walking
the girl) and the girl were crossing a pedestrian crossing when a vehicle sped
by.
“They were flung through the air with the speed, and little
Amy Bell landed against the tree in the centre island.”
Walker said chaos
ensued after when the driver jumped out of the vehicle and ran into the crèche
where Amy was headed. She says community members descended on the scene, and
held the man, awaiting the police.
Police confirmed that Amy was declared deceased on the
scene and that the other woman sustained injuries, and is receiving treatment
in hospital.
