4-year-old killed after wandering onto Indiana freeway

Police say a 4-year-old boy died after wandering onto an Indiana freeway at 4 a.m. on Monday. Emergency responders pronounced the boy dead at the scene after performing CPR.

A 4-year-old boy was fatally hit by a car in Indiana early Monday morning after he wandered into the freeway while his parents were asleep.

The boy's mother and her boyfriend were staying overnight at the boyfriend's workplace, which is near the freeway. The toddler, identified as Braxton Freeze, wandered out of the building at roughly 4 a.m. when the adults were asleep and was then hit by a car, police say.

Warrick EMS, Newburgh Volunteer Fire Department and Deputies of the Warrick County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to render aid and to investigate," the Warrick County Sheriff's Office wrote in a statement.
