2-Year-Old Run Over Outside Home

Gibsonton, FL — A 2-year-old boy was airlifted to a local hospital in critical condition after a Sunday crash outside his home.

According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, Brandon Concepcion, 28, and the little boy’s grandfather, Randy Lear, were leaving a home on Flume Terrace around 4:20 p.m. Concepcion backed away from the residence in his truck, but did not see Zachary Ustaszewski in a stroller behind him, an email from the sheriff’s office said.

Concepcion, deputies said, began to pull forward, not aware he had backed over the stroller.

A neighbor ran to the truck and began banging on the window to stop the men, the email said. The child was pulled to a grassy area near the home and authorities were called.

Zachary suffered severe head trauma, deputies say. He was taken to Tampa General Hospital.

No further information is available at this time.
