For Our Thomas: Group Collecting Donations for Child Father Accidentally Hit With Truck

A Go Fund Me Page has been set up in honor of a 4-year-old Egg Harbor Township who was killed after his dad accidentally hit him with a pickup truck this week.

“For Our Thomas” had raised over $3,000 by Wednesday afternoon.

“Dear Thomas received his angel wings a few days shy of his 5th birthday. Like most losses of young children, this was unseen,” a post on the page reads. “No one is ever prepared for such a blow.”

The boy was riding his motorized toy tractor at their home on Fernwood Avenue on Tuesday when he rode out into the path of a pickup truck his dad was driving, The Press of Atlantic City reports.

His dad didn’t see him, as he was towing a trailer from the rear of their home at the time.

Egg Harbor Township Ambulance Squad and AtlantiCare Paramedics treated the boy at the scene. He was airlifted to Cooper University Medical Center in Camden, where he succumbed to his injuries.
