GREENSBORO, N.C. — A 7-year-old was killed after being run over by a truck Sunday while he was playing in a driveway.
The incident happened round 4:31 p.m. at a home in the 4000 block of Bramlet Place, police say.
Officers say Bourham Bassirou was playing in and around a Nissan truck in the family's driveway. At some point, the truck was taken out of gear and the emergency brake was not engaged; this caused the truck to roll and run over Bourham, police said in a news release.
