A four-year-old child was killed after he came under the wheels of a sand-laden lorry in Padur on Rajiv Gandhi Salai. On Wednesday morning, Praveen Rithwik was travelling with his grandfather Thiyagarajan and mother Padmini to his play school in a two-wheeler. En route Mr. Thiyagarajan lost control of the vehicle and the trio fell. While Rithwik died on the spot, Mr. Thiyagarajan and Ms. Padmini sustained injuries.
