Gromit - You think that the Young boy's death could have been prevented quite easily....but I would have to disagree as you never know what's going to happen.
Eg - Could have been a accident that nothing / nobody could have stopped.
Of course, thats just what I think everybody has a diffrent way of thinking, I dont think that there is a right or wrong here!!

It is a tragic incident.
His parents may have been distracted, he may been 'mischievous' and not done as he was told or there may have been another reason.
From another paper
// Shortly before 7pm, police received reports of a collision involving a Vauxhall Astra and a child at the junction of Chorley Old Road and New Barn Street, Heaton. //
Chorley Old Road is a very busy Main Road and no child should be unsupervised on it. That was a contributing factor to the 'accident'.

Most so called "accidents" are preventable (I would go so far as to say most accidents are nothing of the sort - but easily preventable with a bit of thought).
A car is going to fast, the driver is reading a map or using a mobile phone, the child is not being supervised, the child should not be out at a young age etc etc.
My rather stupid neighbour put a childrens swing in his garden right in front of his greenhouse. If one of the children had fallen off the swing and crashed into the greenhouse people would have said "a terrible accident".
But it was nothing of the sort, the stupid man next door should not have put the swing where he did (as it happens there was no accident and the kids are now grown up).
But few accidents are really accidents but lack of planning or foresight.
