HYRUM, Utah — A toddler has serious injuries after his father backed up his lawn mower into him while mowing the lawn.
According to Captain Curtis Hooley with Logan Police Department, around 11:30 a.m. the father “accidentally backed his riding mower over his two year old son.”
The father treated the son while EMS was arriving.
The two-year-old’s “leg is cut up pretty good,” and has a partial amputation to the foot. The child was transported to Logan Regional Hospital and then Primary Children’s Hospital.
Gary Jensen with Logan Police Department said the accident happened within the county jurisdiction, but since the father is employed by Cache County Corrections, Logan Police will be handling the incident.
