A 3-year-old boy who was playing in the street was killed after a truck ran him over Thursday, police said.
The boy was playing in the Lake Johns Motel community, which is a mobile home park off of Colonial Drive in Oakland, a small town in southwest Orange County, police said.
A pickup truck that had a trailer hitched to the back was backing up about 3:10 p.m. and ran over the boy, Oakland Police Lt. John Peek said.
The boy was taken to Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children where he later died.
The driver was questioned by police.
No one has been cited in the crash.
