Devastated Family Coming To Terms With Death Of Toddler

BY IAN CROUCH

 It's been a horror weekend on the Hunter's roads, with two people killed in separate accidents including a 3-year-old boy.

Police say a driver was killed in a single vehicle accident on the Buckets Way south of Stroud last night.

Meanwhile, the heartbroken father of a toddler who was hit and killed by a truck at Arcadia Vale on Friday has spoken of his overwhelming grief.

Carl Hergenhan says his family is just trying to get through the next hour as they come to terms with the tragic loss of 3-year-old Fletcher.

It's believed he was struck after running onto the road to greet his dad who had just arrived home from work.


19-thousand dollars has been raised for the family on a Go Fund Me page.
