Tragedy Strikes: 2-Year-Old Boy Crushed by Construction Equipment in Massachusetts
In a heartbreaking incident that unfolded on Thursday, a 2-year-old boy from Massachusetts lost his life after being caught under a piece of construction equipment at an auto repair shop. The sorrowful incident occurred around 12:40 p.m. at Hajj Auto Service in Cohasset, Massachusetts. Cohasset Chief of Police, William Quigley, shared this distressing news with the press.
Authorities were swiftly on the scene to investigate the accident, which took place at an auto garage. The young boy’s grandfather reacted quickly, rushing him to a nearby police station for assistance. From there, he was taken to South Shore Hospital, where tragically, he was pronounced dead.
Chief Quigley emphasized that, based on current information, there seems to be no intention of wrongdoing involved in this tragic event. While the situation is grim, the focus is on understanding the circumstances that led to this unfortunate incident.
One of the employees who witnessed the accident received immediate medical attention, and the police officers present are deeply affected by the incident. In light of the emotional toll, one officer had to be sent home.
The auto garage where this incident occurred is owned by a family that has been part of the community in the neighboring town of Hull for many years. They have been operating Hajj Auto Service, the location of the incident, as an established business.
As authorities continue their investigation, both state police and the Norfolk District Attorney’s Office are working together to uncover the details surrounding this heart-wrenching event.
