Warrick County Sheriffs Deputies say a 1-year-old boy was killed after being hit by a car in his familys driveway.
It happened just before 5:00 pm Friday evening at 1111 Russell Road in Chandler.

In a release from the Warrick County Coroner, they say Dreblows grandfather, Joseph Potetz, was moving his van so the grandchildren could play basketball. The boy reportedly ran in front of the van and was accidentally hit. He died at the scene. An autopsy is scheduled for Saturday afternoon at the Vanderburgh County Morgue.
