A three-year-old boy has been killed after he was hit by a lawnmower being driven by his father.
The child was rushed to Pambula District Hospital on Saturday with severe injuries after being hit with the mower blades.
The toddler later died, despite desperate resuscitation attempts by paramedics.
‘He [the father] reversed over the poor child. He didn’t see him,’ a police spokesman said.

Police are not expected to lay any charges but are required to investigate such deaths to provide a report to the coroner.
‘I don’t think anything you could do to the father would change the way he feels unfortunately,’ the police spokesman said.
‘It’s unusual, it’s not a death that’s caused by natural causes, so that’s why we’re doing what we’re doing.’
Karen Wright, a Bega Valley Shire councillor from South Pambula, said: ‘It is absolutely tragedy and my heart goes out to the family.’
