CHESHIRE (AP) The parents of a Connecticut child who was struck and killed by a vehicle after buying an ice pop from an ice cream truck are leading the push for the implementation of safety measures for ice cream trucks.
The state Transportation Committee and the Committee on Children passed nearly identical bills that would require trucks to be outfitted with stop signs similar to those on a school bus and a mirror to allow the driver to see anyone in front of the truck, the Record-Journal reported.
“If such a tragedy can take my son, it can take anyone’s child. Our lives are forever changed and my new purpose is to bring awareness and change and hopefully prevent such a senseless tragedy in the future,” Christi Carrano of Wallingford wrote in testimony delivered to both committees.

WALLINGFORD, Conn. There is a new push for legislators to pass a bill called Tristan s Law , named for 10-year-old Tristan Barhorst of Wallingford who was hit and killed by a car in Cheshire last summer after buying ice cream. No family should ever constantly have to walk by an empty child s bedroom. He was perfect. he was kind, he was brave. He had fears, but he always fought through them whether it was getting up in front of a church and talking, said Tyler Barhorst, Tristan s father.
