WAHNETA, Fla. (AP) – Authorities say central Florida man accidentally ran over his 18-month-old son while going to the store for milk.

Polk County Sheriff’s deputies say the boy had apparently walked outside before 34-year-old Cesar Resendez got into his truck on Monday night. He told authorities he didn’t know he hit the boy until he got home a few minutes later and saw his wife holding the child.

The Ledger of Lakeland (http://bit.ly/19znOnW ) reports the child had severe head trauma.

Resendez and his wife put the boy in the truck and started driving to a hospital. They flagged down two sheriff’s deputies along the way. The deputies performed CPR until rescue crews arrived, but the boy did not survive.

No charges are pending.
