A child fell under a road roller on a construction site in Celle, Lower Saxony, and died at the scene of the accident.

According to the police, the five-year-old was traveling with his father and seven-year-old brother on Monday.

The children rode their bicycles while the father jogged behind them.

While the older brother had already crossed a road that was being built on, the five-year-old followed and was hit by the reversing roller.

He died at the scene of the accident.

The driver of the roller could not see the child, the 57-year-old suffered a shock and was taken to the hospital.

The police said the scene of the accident was a cordoned-off construction site area.

The roadway has been renewed there since the start of the holidays.

How the accident happened is now being determined.

An expert was also consulted for this purpose.

It was a tragic event and also stressful for the emergency services, the spokesman said.

The boy's father and his brother received pastoral care.
