“#2-Year-Old Boy Dies After Father Accidentally Runs Him Over
\n<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\nSometimes, the most tragic types of deaths are the ones caused by mundane activities we do every day \u2014 which is exactly how a Virginia man lost his 2-year-old son this week.<\/p>\n

According to reports, Bairon Alexander Zapata<\/strong> (pictured above) was accidentally run over by his father in their driveway, leaving the family devastated. The father reportedly had no idea that his toddler was outside at the time.<\/p>\n

Fairfax County Police confirmed in a press release that the accident happ<\/a>ened outside of the boy\u2019s home in Fairfax on Monday evening around 6:45. Cops who arrived at the scene found the toddler \u201csuffering from serious injuries\u201d and pronounced him dead a short time after.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, detectives determined Bairon\u2019s dad was backing his 2005 Ford F350 out of their driveway when he hit the child with his truck. Police are investigating the incident, but don\u2019t suspect foul play and confirmed that alcohol was not a factor in the crash.<\/p>\n

Naturally, the grieving father was extraordinarily distraught over the heartbreaking incident. The man told Telemundo 44<\/em> he thought his son was inside the house at the time, saying through tears:<\/p>\n

\u201cI put him inside and told him to stay inside and he said, \u2018OK, Daddy,\u2019 but I didn\u2019t realize when he came out again. It was too late when the [truck accident] happened later.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Just devastating.<\/p>\n

To make matters worse, the boy\u2019s 4-year-old sister witnessed the deadly accident, according to his mother, Kelly Castillo<\/strong>. She said of her son, who would have turned 3 in October:<\/p>\n

\u201cMy boy was a happy boy. Just on Sunday, we went to a river to spend the whole day with him as a family.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

His aunt, Iris Zapata<\/strong>, added:<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was very happy. When we were around him, he would say, \u2018Why are you serious? I came to play with you all.’\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The boy\u2019s other aunt, Monica Gudiel<\/strong>, set up a GoFundMe<\/strong> page to help her nephew\u2019s family with funeral expenses. In it, she wrote:<\/p>\n

\u201cOur hearts are heavy to announce the tragic passing of little Bairon. A parent should never have to go through the pain my cousin\/sister and her husband are going through losing their toddler in a very tragic way.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Monica described the child as \u201cfull of life\u2026 always laughing and captivating many hearts,\u201d adding:<\/p>\n

\u201cHe impacted many lives with his smile and way of being such a sweetheart in his short life. We are left tonight with countless memories that we will hold on to forever.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So far, the page has raised over $15,000.<\/p>\n

As the family continues to grieve, they\u2019re also urging other parents to be more mindful when driving. According to the Kids and Cars<\/strong> organization, at least 50 children are run over by vehicles each week \u2013 70% of which involve a parent or close relative behind the wheel.<\/p>\n

The org recommends installing cameras in the back of vehicles and locks at the top of doors to prevent these kinds of accidents, as well as making sure small children are supervised every time someone arrives or leaves the house. Moreover, parents should make sure to check around the car before backing up.<\/p>\n
