The carer had just opened the car door when it appears the boy ran out, police said on Monday. It is understood the boy, from Woy Woy, was in the care of Family and Community Services (Facs) while the carer, from Cooranbong, was employed by the department. The truck driver, a 57-year-old man, was treated for shock before being taken to John Hunter hospital for blood and urine testing. “The death of any child is a tragedy,” a Facs spokeswoman said on Monday, adding the department was deeply saddened. In the NSW southern highlands, a passer-by discovered an overturned car early on Sunday morning with the body of a 30-year-old man in it.
