GARLAND, Texas (AP) - A suburban Dallas toddler police say was watching stars with his father and brother in the family driveway has died after his mother accidentally ran over him.

Investigators say 2-year-old Marvin Segovia died late last night at a Dallas hospital after the 10:30 p.m. accident Tuesday in the driveway of the family home in Garland.

Police say the father had taken his sons to lie in front of the house to watch the stars when he apparently dozed off. The child's mother then returned from a supermarket trip and pulled into the driveway, running over her son.

Ok why blame the mother? Its dark who expects their baby to be OUTside when she left him in and their father decides to take them out in the dark and then doze off. Someone needs to slap him.

She was in ALL likelihood YAKKING ON A CELL PHONE just like the guy who who hit my wife in the rear doing 70 MPH in a 45 zone while she was stopped waiting to make a turn. People talk on those stupid phones and change lanes, drift back and forth, pull right out into traffic without looking... BAN THE CELL and more people will pay attention to DRIVING!

No one knows what really happened. None of us were there. Either way, what happened was a tragedy. Somehow we all must learn from it.
