In Henderson County, Texas, a 2-year-old was seriously injured after being run over by a zero-turn mower operated by their mother, and the child is expected to recover, with the incident under investigation by the Crimes Against Children Task Force. Meanwhile, in Elizabeth Township, Pennsylvania, 3-year-old Wyatt Barker was fatally struck by a riding lawn mower on Skillet Hill Road, with the Allegheny County Medical Examiner pronouncing him dead at the scene, and homicide detectives investigating. Both incidents highlight the dangers associated with lawn mowers and the need for vigilant safety measures.
