She said: “The whole time I’m trying to find my son not knowing that he was underneath the car, and I’m running around looking for him, and I couldn’t find them, and I’m calling in and I’m texting him and there was no response.
My son was running through the street up here, police came this way, and one came that way crashed into them and then ran him over.”
