An 18-month-old Stillwater boy was killed July 30 when he was hit by a Peterbilt truck at a private residence on North Oak St. about eight miles south of Bennington, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol said.
The boy, who was not identified, was hit with the front driver’s side tire of the truck when Alec Fuller, 29, Stillwater, started it in gear causing it to lunge forward.
Improper start from a parked position was listed in the report as the cause of the accident and Fuller had an odor of alcohol on his breath.
Trooper Jerrid Hobbie investigated.
