At this time, it is unknown if the accident only occurred due to the impatience of the driver or if other kinds of inhibition were involved. The fact that it was nighttime when the accident took place had an impact on the drivers' ability to stop in time. The fact that the victim was a 2-year-old child means that the body was small, and thus hard to see especially at night. The family of the child along with the woman should look into hiring the services of an attorney. Doing so could help with the funeral costs and dealing with insurance companies to make sure that the maximum cost is obtained.
