A young boy was tragically killed while having the time of his life camping with his family.
5-year-old Jack Brown from Australia was camping with his parents at Blackbutt North in South Burnett, Queensland, when he was hit by a reversing car while running around and playing.
According to the reports, the boy’s family witnesses the shocking moment the car reversed and plowed into the young boy.
Unfortunately, Jack suffered fatal injuries in the collision and could not be saved despite his family’s best efforts and near-immediate medical care.
“This tragedy is absolutely incomprehensible and beyond unbearable for Jim and Carla, and everyone involved,” a GoFundMe fundraiser launched for the boy’s grieving parents reads.
“Jack’s passing leaves an insurmountable path forward for Jim, Carla and eight year old Parker.
“With sadness, this GoFundMe has been set up to allow those rallying around Jim, Carla and Parker in this devastating time to contribute to any expenses they will incur as a result of this unimaginable tragedy.”
As parents Jim and Carla continue to grieve the loss of their young son, tributes from relatives, friends, and other well-wishers began pouring in.
“Worst news ever I send my condolences to you and your family and friends,” someone wrote.
“Thinking of all of Jacks family and friends at this heartbreaking time. Praying for you all,” another added.
A third expressed: “Our hearts go out to your family, we can’t begin to imagine your loss.”
Additional details about the fatal incident are pending investigation. As of this writing, it is unclear if the driver of the reversing car faces any charges.
