    A man who fatally ran over a five year old outside an Auckland primary school is losing his driver licence for a year

    A man who fatally ran over a five year old outside an Auckland primary school is losing his driver licence for a year


    The Bucklands Beach community was rocked by the death of Pigeon Mountain Primary School student, Joanna Kong, in March.

    When parking, 77 year old Cheng Chuang had hit the accelerator instead of the brake -- hitting and dragging the five-year-old under the car.

    He's been sentenced to 120 hours community service, ordered to pay 30 thousand dollars in reparation to the Kong family - and cannot drive for 12 months.

    His lawyer says Chuang takes full responsibility for his actions.
