Boy suffocates after getting head caught on open van window

A six-year-old boy died after getting his head caught on a partially open van window on Saturday in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, a website reported today.

The accident occurred at about 1:30pm, when a worker who went into a warehouse yard near Jincang Bridge saw the boy dangling from the van's window, JSChina.com report.

The boy was apparently trying to climb into the van when he slipped and got his head caught on the window. He suffocated as he wasn't tall enough for his feet to reach the ground, the report said.

Nearby individual businessmen reportedly freed the boy and called police. The boy was sent to hospital although the report was not clear if he died at the scene.

The boy's parents were working in their shop at Jinmen Commodities Market at the time of the accident and had asked their son to play by himself, the website said.
