A Leeds inquest has heard of how a mother watched helplessly as her two-year-old son was killed in a road accident when he fell under a bus after falling off his tricycle.

Aryan Shimpi suffered head injuries in the bus accident in Roundhay in June last year. He was given mouth-to-mouth resuscitation by his mother at the scene before being taken to Leeds General Infirmary where he died shortly afterwards.

Aryan’s mother Rumana had just registered him at a local nursery before returning home. Aryan was pedalling six feet ahead of her on the pavement when he lost his balance and fell under the nearside wheel of the bus.

No passengers were on the bus at the time which was negotiating a sharp bend and traffic island and was only travelling at between five and 10 mph.

The coroner David Hinchliff recorded a verdict of accidental death and pronounced: “The police do not consider that the driver of the bus would have had prior warning and could have taken any further avoiding action.”
