DOWAGIAC (WKZO-AM) — A kindergartner from Dowagiac is in critical condition at Bronson Methodist Hospital in Kalamazoo after he was run over by a lawnmower.
Lucas Doyle, 5, was reportedly running behind a riding mower being operated by a female relative when she suddenly put it into reverse and ran over the boy on Wednesday.
Because of the severities of the injuries and the loss of blood, emergency responders called for transport by AirCare, where he underwent emergency surgery.
The child reportedly suffered extensive internal injuries and lacerations and will require more surgeries.
The matter is under investigation.
