A truck backed over two-year-old Herbert Gale Allen at Abingdon Tuesday and killed him. The driver of the truck was the boy's father A. A. Allen. A coroner's jury yesterday fixed the cause as accidental. Testimony indicated the child had wanted to go with his father and tagged along to the truck. The father put the boy back on the porch and told him to stay there but the boy didn't stay put. He got under the dual wheels as the truck back from the driveway.
