The death of a toddler who was run over by a relative in a Rotorua driveway was a tragic accident, according to a coroner.
An inquest was held this morning into the death of 14-month-old Tyrese Kaydyn Hill in Turner Dr, Rotorua on March 13.
The court heard the Taupo
toddler was an "active little boy" who was renowned for venturing off by himself.
On the day of his death he had slipped out of the house unnoticed and went onto the driveway, where his grand aunt was reversing onto the road. She did not see him and ran him over. Tyrese died at the scene.
Dr Wallace Bain told Tyrese's mother he had no criticism of her in terms of her supervision of Tyrese.
