A one-year-old boy has died after being hit by a reversing ute in the Western Downs region on Thursday.
Emergency services were called to the address on Edward Street in Chinchilla, about 165 kilometres north-west of Toowoomba, about 10.45am.
Police said a ute, driven by a 71-year-old man, was reversing near the entrance of the commercial property when it hit the infant.
The boy was declared dead at the scene and paramedics took a man to Chinchilla Hospital suffering from emotional distress.
Police did not believe the ute driver and the little boy were known to each other.
Workplace Health and Safety Queensland were making initial inquiries into the incident, but the police service's Forensic Crash Unit was leading the investigation.
