2-Year-Old Maine Boy Killed After Being Struck in Driveway While Camper Was Being Moved

According to a press release from Maine Department of Public Safety Spokeswoman, Shannon Moss, a young Maine boy has died following a weekend incident at his home.

Maine State Police report that a call for help came in early Saturday afternoon with reports of an unresponsive small child. Shortly after that call was placed, the Naples Fire Department reported that the boy had shown up at their fire station.

Sadly, all of the attempts to revive the boy at the fire station were unsuccessful and he was declared dead.

Police reports that the father of the 2-year-old boy had been using his truck to move a camper in the driveway. Reports indicate that the father was unable to see the toddler and that's when he was struck. Moss said the parents immediately drove the child to the fire department

Moss said that the Maine State Police Major Crimes Unit, because of the age of the child, responded to the residence on Lambs Mills Road in Naples to investigate the scene.
