A five-year-old boy has died after he was crushed by a parking meter outside a museum in Western Australia last week.
The boy was hospitalised in a critical condition on Wednesday, January 16, after he was hit by a parking meter in a courtyard of the Bunbury Museum and Heritage Centre, about 175km south of Perth.
The City of Bunbury today confirmed that the child had passed away two days after the accident.
“Our entire organisation is heartbroken and deeply saddened to learn of the passing of the young child involved in a tragic incident at a City facility last week,” it said.
