A family is grieving after a three-year-old boy was struck and killed by a ute being driven by his father in the driveway of their Brisbane home on Friday.


It’s believed the boy ran behind the ute, which had a box trailer on the back, when he was hit by the vehicle at about 5.20pm on Friday at the Samford Valley home.


The child was trapped under a rear wheel of the vehicle and died at the scene, despite the efforts of police and paramedics.

Senior Sergeant Darren Madgwick said police the incident appeared to be an accident and police weren’t treating the death as suspicious.


“His father was backing out a car that had a trailer attached and for unknown reasons the child has been run over and received fatal injuries,” Senior Sergeant Madgwick told reporters.


The family is believed to have only moved into the house in the past two weeks.


A neighbour said she had seen a moving van at the property just last week.


“It was sold about a month ago,” the woman told the Courier Mail.


The boy’s death is the third driveway-based fatality in the country this month after a two-year-old girl died at Campsie in Sydney’s southwest on December 20 and a five-year-old girl was killed on December 1 when a reversing car ran into her at her family home near Geelong.
