Police have released the name of the toddler killed when he was struck by a vehicle in a driveway in Mataura.
He was 18-month-old Tahi Henderson, from Auckland.
Police earlier named him as Tahi Anderson.
The incident happened on Oakland St in the Southland town at 4.50pm on Saturday.
Mataura Community Board member Steve Dixon earlier said people were upset by the news.
"People are pretty gutted, because the family is well known in town."
He knew the family personally, and was planning to visit them, he said.
Gore District Council Mataura ward councillor Neville Phillips said Mataura was a tight-knit community, and the victim’s family was well known.
Oakland St was closed for a time on Saturday while police conducted a scene examination and the Serious Crash Unit was notified.
Police would not release any further details.
