The little girl lay on the street to the total indifference of passers-by after the driver of the van that hit her driving off without even getting off the vehicle.

On Tuesday it emerged that another Chinese boy killed in similar circumstances, after being crushed by a truck. The driver of the vehicle, Ao Yong, Xiong Maoke ran over, five years in the city of Luzhou, in western China. Little had just left home to go to school.

It is not known if the impact killed him. However, the driver did not think twice and backed off to give the coup de grace.
