Man arrested after car accident in west London leaves toddler dead

The collision on Eastcote Road in Ruislip involved three pedestrians including the 22-month-old toddler.The collision on Eastcote Road in Ruislip involved three pedestrians including the 22-month-old toddler.A man has been arrested on suspicion of driving while unfit through drugs following the death of a toddler who was struck by a car in west London.

Another awful tragedy, a young person's life suffed out due to total selfishness and lack of responsibility. Firstly it was not an accident, it was the lack of responsibility on behalf of the driver. Secondly it was the DRIVER NOT THE CAR involved.

Hardly an accident.

Not an accident.

Textbook example of a mainstream media outlet perpetuating the idea of 'car accidents' instead of the reality - sustained, structural road violence.

Driver on drugs kills a child, you declare it an accident. Journalism's definitely the best career for you.

Accident? Seriously, this is not an oopsie!

Calling this shit an accident is part of the reason why this prick will end up with a 6 month suspended sentence and banned from driving for a year. Well done guardian ffs
