Delray Beach police said the front-end loader was attempting to turn out of a parking lot when the boy was struck.

Two women who spoke to WPBF, the ABC affiliate in Palm Beach County, said they saw the body covered by a yellow tarp in the street.

"I don't have children, but hearing something like that is almost too much to bear," Gayle Clark said.

Police have not released the child's identity.
