A 4-year-old boy, returning home from his father’s funeral, was struck and killed by a van along a Delaware County street.
Carder Brown had just exited a gold Dodge Charger at 11th and Upland Streets in Chester, Pa. around 5 p.m. on Saturday when he was hit by a white passenger van driving down the street, Chester Police say.
Police say the boy jumped out of the car's backseat after seeing his mother standing outside.
Brown was rushed to a nearby hospital, but his injuries were too severe and he died, police said.
Police say the driver of the van did stop and is currently being questioned by detectives at the city’s police station.
The family had just returned from the funeral for the boy’s father, Derrick Brown, police said. The man was apparently the victim of gun violence in Chester and died several days ago.
