The same week that happened, a New York Police Department tow truck struck a 7-year old child in a crosswalk, walking to school, and dragged him 40 feet.[1] The child died. No other vehicle contributed to the accident. The tow truck driver was charged with failing to yield right of way to a pedestrian.

"Tyrana Carter, who witnessed the collision, said the boy was riding a bright green scooter next to his mother, who was pushing another child in a stroller, as they crossed the street. The driver of the tow truck, Ms. Carter said, appeared to be trying to beat a yellow light when she hit the boy. “When she came around the corner, she hit the kid and she rolled over him,” said Ms. Carter, noting that many children, including the victim, were on their way to school."

This did not result in any policy changes.
