Tragic back-over accident claims life of Martin child

A Stephens County child died after being run over by a vehicle in a private driveway in Martin about 5:30 p.m. Saturday.

"The driver of vehicle 1, Raul Xoxocotla, was backing into the private driveway at 40 Julian Westmoreland Drive in Martin," said Trooper 1st Class Aaron Walden of Georgia State Patrol Post 7 in Toccoa.

"When backing up, vehicle 1 struck Xoxocotla's 2-year-old daughter standing in the driveway and ran her over with the rear left tire of vehicle 1," Walden said. "The injuries to the child proved fatal."

No charges are expected in the incident at this time.
