Deputies from the Logan County Sheriff’s Office report an 18-month-old boy was killed Sunday afternoon after an accident involving a pickup and a riding lawn mower at a property in Rushsylvania.
The boy, Elias Dickinson, reportedly was crushed between a pickup and a lawn mower at his residence, 131 S. Sandusky St., Rushsylvania, Logan County Sheriff Randall J. Dodds said this morning.
Individuals at the property reportedly were attempting to jump start the lawn mower. The pickup had been driven over to the stationary lawn mower, and the pickup reportedly either coasted forward or was driven forward, pinning the child.
Deputies were still in the process of interviewing family members today, and determining whether or not the pickup was occupied at the time of the accident.
The boy was transported by Rushcreek squad to Mary Rutan Hospital about 2:25 p.m., where deputies met with family members and then later went to the scene.
The child’s body will be sent to Montgomery County for an autopsy.
