May 13, 2021

A driver hit a 4-year-old boy who was crossing the street with his mother in the Buenos Aires town of Dock Sud, but did not stop to help him and the little boy died minutes later. The man and woman who were inside the vehicle filed a false report of theft to hide their responsibility, but were eventually arrested.

The episode was recorded on Thursday on Avellaneda Street of the aforementioned locality where the child, Ciro, let go of his mother's hand and crossed being rammed by the vehicle, a scene that was recorded on the security cameras that are in the place.

In the video it can be seen that moments after the tragic event, the woman took her son in her arms and the neighbors approached to help her, but the driver of the car had escaped.

The child was rushed to the Fiorito Hospital in the Buenos Aires town of Avellaneda, but died shortly after arriving due to the severity of the injuries caused by the accident.

On the other hand, after the description provided by the baby's mother and a follow-up that was carried out by the cameras in the area, the investigators managed to determine the vehicle's patent and found its owner.

The police officers showed up at the home of the alleged driver, who gave a surprising version, since he pointed out that his car had been stolen moments before the episode occurred and denied being the one driving the vehicle when the little one was hit.

Shortly after, the police found the abandoned car at the intersection of Ayolas and Mazzini Streets, in the town of Dock Sud, which was completely clean both inside and outside, so it was kidnapped to be able to inspect it.

The Argentine Naval Prefecture intervened in the incident, which carried out the initial investigation and then referred all the actions to the Buenos Aires Police while the case is being investigated by the prosecutor María Alejandra Olmos Coronel of the UFI N°1 of Avellaneda.
