A man has been charged over the death of a boy in a driveway in south Auckland five months ago.
Preventive Aido Ikimanahetau Feleti, 34, appeared in Manukau District Court this week charged with careless driving causing the death of 2-year-old Te Manawa Whetuki Renata.
It is understood Feleti is the boy's father.
The child, known as Whetuki, suffered critical injuries when he was hit by a vehicle reversing up his Papatoetoe driveway on April 9.
His mother Emma Renata rushed him to Middlemore Hospital in her car but the boy was pronounced dead half an hour later.
