Mother Reverses Car Over 2-year-old Daughter

In one moment a life is lost and another destroyed. The mother, distracted, had not noticed the toddler as she backed up her car and then… life lost its meaning.

It was a Sunday, around two in the afternoon, in the province of Córdoba. The village, Hornachuelos, was in fiestas and there was to be a communal lunch at the village football ground.

One of the women, 38-year-old I.F. decided to return home quickly in her Renault Espace people carrier, leaving the girl with family relations, to fetch something, but the little girl had wandered up behind the car. The car struck the girl without the mother even realising.

Moments later relations of the family discovered the girl lying on the grass, bleeding, so they alerted the emergency services at the village medical centre. The mother had no idea what had happened and only discovered the horrific truth upon her return.

At the medical centre they did all that they could to bring the child round whilst waiting for the emergency helicopter to fly her to the provincial hospital, but it was in vain, owing to the extent of her head injuries.

The following Saturday was to be the child’s second birthday
