Police ruled mother's death a car accident, another vehicle is now suspected to be involved.

Natali Castellanos-Tyler was involved in a single car accident after losing control of her Ford explorer and hitting a tree that resulted in her death, according to police back in February. However, her husband has observed their young daughter screaming about a nightmare of a white van hurting her. Bothered by the young girl's behavior, due to the repeated bad dreams, and noticing intriguing Facebook posts, he decided to question the police's ruling.

span style="line-height: 15.8599996566772px;">MUNTINLUPA, PHILIPPINES (Catholic Online) - "The nightmares were in the nighttime and now they're coming into the day.  She'll just start walking and she'll start screaming 'the van, the white van!'" Natali's husband Craig Tyler said in an interview with the WTVR-TV. He explained that whenever he asks their daughter Elisa, 4, about it, she'll say that it hurt her and her car.

Elisa was with her mother, but had fortunately survived the tragic accident. Along with the nightmares and outbursts from the toddler, Tyler became even more bothered after noticing some posts on Facebook about hit-and-run accidents that allegedly involved a white box truck in the same road area.

On March 30, Caitlyn Thomas, 17, reported being sideswiped by a white box truck approximately five miles from where Tyler crashed, according to The Blaze. There was also a reported case of a hit-and-run incident March 29, also on the Otterdale Road.

"He literally braked for two seconds and took off, so I couldn't get a license plate number," said Subasree Thompson who told the news station she was also hit by a white truck with two or three guys inside.
