They said that the incident took place at Carter Road No. 3 in Borivali east at around 12:30 pm.
According to sources, the boy was found to be wearing a school uniform and he was walking near a large dumper when his foot struck a divider, causing him to stumble and fall onto the road. Tragically, his head was crushed under the rear tire of the passing dumper, killing him instantly.
