A Texas family is mourning the loss of a toddler after he was hit and killed by a pickup truck over the weekend.
Investigators say 18-month-old Alejandro Perez of Houston walked out of his house Saturday afternoon without his parents' knowledge.
The boy walked into the street and was struck by a pickup truck.
He was rushed to the hospital where he later died.
Police say no charges have been filed.
The Perez family is hoping the tragedy is a reminder for every parent to keep a closer eye on their children.
