A family and a town are still reeling from a terrible event that has left an unbearable void. Little Josiah Toleafoa was killed in a terrible car accident at Play City’s indoor parking lot, where his family was going to a kids’ party on his third birthday.
Witnesses say it was a crazy scene with Josiah’s mother screaming in pain while rescuers fought to save her son. Josiah died from his injuries at Rady Children’s Hospital, despite their best efforts. His family and friends are shocked and sad.
The accident’s details are still being looked into. Investigators say the 36-year-old driver, whose name has not been confirmed, cooperated with them and wasn’t high. The tragedy’s cause is still unknown.
Josiah’s family has found comfort in the overflow of support from the community after such a terrible loss. A GoFundMe page has been set up to help pay for the funeral costs, and many touching messages have been sent. Josiah’s aunt, Tatiana Toleafoa, said he was a happy, kind child whose smile made everyone around him smile.
