An 18-month-old boy has been killed in the Whitsundays after being hit by a car in the family’s driveway.
The incident happened at 3pm on Tuesday afternoon at a property near Airle Beach.
Senior Sergeant Nathan Blain told the Whitsunday Times that the person behind the wheel was a family friend who was visiting the property.
“The person was leaving the property, but it’s still too early in the investigation to say exactly what happened,” he said.
“The Forensic Crash Investigation Unit are investigating and we’ll be liaising with the coroners offices in relation to it.”
Police will prepare a report for a coroner.
