Girl Hiding In Leaf Pile Dies After Dad Parks Car On Her :(

This is so heartbreaking...made me cry. :(


METHUEN, Mass. -- A 10-year-old girl was killed when her father parked his truck in a pile of leaves in which she and a friend were hiding, the family said. The other girl was seriously injured.

Family members said 36-year-old construction worker James Gravel did not know he had run over the girls until he got out and heard daughter Natalie calling him.

"She said, 'Daddy, I can't breathe,"' said Gravel's sister, Jennifer Gravel.

Natalie died at a hospital of head and chest injuries. Eight-year-old Meredith Reid was in critical condition Thursday.

Police said no charges were planned.

Gravel's two other children, ages 11 and 7, were in the truck at the time.

I heard this story break on the car radio - how terribly sad. It broke my heart. I'm sure this dad is just devastated.

Such a tragedy! It wouldn't surprise me if he commits sucide over this later.
