A 2-year-old boy was killed in what appears to be a "tragic accident" Wednesday afternoon in Oakland, a police spokeswoman said.
Police responded to a report of an accident in a parking lot at 845 Embarcadero at about 4:15 p.m., Officer Johnna Watson said.
The boy was playing in a parking lot near his mother, who was selling fruit out of her car, when he was run over, Watson said.
"At this time, it appears this is a tragic accident," Watson said.
The driver, only described as a man, remained at the scene and is cooperating with police, she said.
As of 6:20 p.m., police were still investigating the crash. Embarcadero, between Fifth and 10th avenues, remains closed, Watson said.
