A Sugar Land man accidentally ran over and killed his neighbors 1-year-old son when the toddler ran out in front of his vehicle Friday night, Fort Bend Department of Public Safety officials said.
No charges are being pressed against Franklin Anderson, who lives in the cul-de-sac in the 8100 block of Highland Green Drive, official said.
He didnt see him, investigating officer Devon Wiles said.
Ian Krongards father was watching the child from two or three houses down when the boy ran out in front of the 2001 Toyota Sequoia, Wiles said.
Ian was transported to Memorial Hermann Sugar Land hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
Less than a month ago, the driver of a Dodge Ram struck and killed an 18-month-old in southeast Houston after the boy left his house without his parents knowledge and ran into the street.

I say the father of the child.
1 year old. Why the hell would you let a 1-year old be a couple houses down?
I never let my 2-year old niece go more than a couple feet away from me, unless shes in the back where the yard is fenced, or indoors.
The vehicle the man was driving, the one-year old would not have been seen by the driver because it is high off the ground, and obviously the child wasnt tall enough to be seen.
