year-old boy was killed when a reckless youth hit him during a hot-rodding stunt near a gas station here Wednesday. According to Muhammad Eid Al-Mashhouri, an eyewitness, the 3-year-old boy was walking next to his 7-year-old brother to a grocery store at the gas station to buy candies. The youth in the car tried to take a sharp turn to the gas station in high speed, but he lost control and hit the 3-year-old boy. The 7-year-old brother picked up his bleeding sibling and rushed toward his father, who was working at a nearby slaughterhouse. The father, Abdul Majeed Muhammad Al-Shaman, rushed his son to King Fahd General Hospital, but the boy was pronounced dead. The youth, who caused the accident, disappeared from the scene. But he was later traced out and arrested by the traffic police, said Col. Muhammad Ali Al-Najjar, Director of Tabuk Traffic Department. The brother of the boy is in a state of shock, his father said.
