Jacksonville, FL — A 2-year-old child who was critically injured after being backed over by his mom’s vehicle around Midnight, has died.
According to JSO, Christopher Jackson Jr.’s mom was visiting a relative at the Mathews Crossing Apartments on Century 21 Drive near Atlantic Blvd.
The mother asked a relative to watch the boy so that she could go to the store. He was able to leave the apartment without the relative’s knowledge, and was struck by his mother as she was backing out of a parking spot.
Family members drove the boy to Memorial Hospital where he later died.
Police say the mother did not exhibit any indications of impairment. JSO is now calling the case an accidental death.
