Father Accidentally Runs Over 3-Year-Old Son

HASTINGS, Fla. (AP) — A 3-year-old northeast Florida boy died after his father accidentally backed over the child in his truck.

The St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office reports that Christopher Lamer was playing in a plastic toy car on Sunday when his father’s pickup struck him.

Authorities say the father was moving materials from his back yard to the front and did not see the boy playing in his vehicle’s path.

Fire rescue personnel responded and found the father screaming for help and administering CPR to the boy.

The boy was airlifted to Flagler Hospital, where he died from his injuries.
