A 1-year-old boy is dead after being hit by an SUV Sunday afternoon in Deerfield Beach.
The boy's grandmother, Caroline Chery, said Monday that her grandson, Neallie Saxon Jr. III, died at Broward Health Medical Center.
Chery said her family was preparing to eat together Sunday, when she said her daughter told her older grandson to help his sister carry food inside their home on Northwest Fourth Place.
That's when Neallie must have followed them outside and wandered into the street.
Witnesses in the area said the driver didn't immediately stop.
The boy's family members allegedly chased down the SUV.
Broward Sheriff's Office detectives are investigating the crash.
