MANILA, Philippines -  A 12-year-old boy died when he was run over by a bulldozer at a construction site in Malabon City yesterday morning.

Police Officer 3 Rodolfo Alvarez said Christian Alejo, a resident of Barangay Muzon, died on the spot when he was crushed under a bulldozer driven by Winceslao Nebril.

Alvarez said the boy was with several of his friends scavenging for scrap at a construction site for housing units along Dulong Hugnatan E street in Barangay Concepcion when the accident happened at around 9 a.m.

“The driver of the bulldozer was maneuvering backward as he was leveling the soil at the housing lot when he accidentally pinned down the boy with his heavy equipment,” Alvarez told The STAR.

The driver of the bulldozer fled after angry residents, armed with woods and bolos, tried to apprehend him, Alvarez said. Alvarez said they will file a case of reckless imprudence resulting in homicide against Nebril.
