On Sunday, a 5 year old boy was run over by his father who was riding a lawnmower.
Cherokee County Fire Department spokesman Tim Cavender, said that the father was backing the mower up when the child walked behind it and was knocked down. First responders then arrived on the scene and airlifted him to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston. Cavender said that the main lesson to be learned is that parents should always look behind them before backing up.
He on to say that the boy was conscious, breathing and talking to first responders when they arrived but that he suffered injuries to his legs, fingers, toes and an arm. None of his major arteries were cut.
Cavender stated he was sure that the father would be having a hard time coming to terms with the accident, but that police were not planning on charging him with anything at this time.
