2-year-old Calif. boy killed by car in SC driveway

Published Monday, August 30, 2010 8:37 AM

WELLFORD, S.C. (AP) — A 2-year-old California boy has died after he was backed over by a car in a driveway in South Carolina.

Multiple media outlets reported Arkadiy Vihodet of Sacramento, Calif., was killed Saturday afternoon when 40-year-old Valentina Cholak was backing out of her home in Wellford.

Robin Forrest of the Spartanburg County coroner's office says the boy died at the scene.

Highway Patrol Lance Cpl. Bill Rhyne says Cholak didn't see the boy while backing the car.

Officials say the boy's family was visiting relatives in South Carolina.

An autopsy is planned.
