The family's next door neighbour Mary Mason, 67, said: 'The pick up truck is there quite often so I think it belongs to the home owner. 'I saw it reversing out my window and then it lurched forward and I heard a massive crash. I looked out and their garden wall had collapsed. 'Next thing I know I can just hear screaming and shouting, I don't know what was going on. There was chaos. I could just hear yelling and panicked screams. 'There was blue flashing lights everywhere but I had no idea what had happened, I thought the wall had just collapsed but the shouting and the noise made me think it could have been something worse.' One neighbour, who wished to remain anonymous, said: 'I don't know how he managed to do it or whether the lad was in a pushchair or cot,' she said.

A white forensic tent was erected outside the £120,000 semi-detached property where the crash took place and a large number of people could be inside one of the nearby homes. Neighbour Barbara Porter, 76, said: 'I heard the helicopter land in Old Yardley Park over the road and there was police and ambulances everywhere. 'Its a really busy road and we've had loads of accidents down here. To know it is a little child is just heartbreaking. 'There's a lot of pedestrians as we are by a school and the cars are always bombing down the road. It's such a shame. 'It doesn't get more tragic than this. It's upsetting to think about what his family must be going through right now.' Another neighbour Glenys Cooper, 68, said: 'I went out after hearing a lot of commotion. There were sirens blaring. 'I spoke to one woman who was in a right state, she was really upset and she said it was her cousin who had been involved. 'But she couldn't get to anywhere near the scene really, the police soon had it all taped off. It's such a tragedy. Paramedics and an emergency doctor made desperate efforts to save the baby and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance attended the scene . Officers were called to the Stechford area of the city at around 5pm today following a report that a recovery truck had hit a wall, pictured is the road where the incident took place . 'I'm a grandmother and when you think it could have been one of your grandkids, you just can't imagine what the parents must be feeling.' Inspector Paul Bennett said: 'This is a very tragic set of circumstances – words cannot describe what his family are going through and our thoughts are with them at this time. 'Specialist officers will be supporting the boy's family and – as with all serious and fatal collisions - an investigation has been launched to establish the cause.'
