A 3-year-old boy’s foot was severed in a lawnmower accident in Lewes Wednesday.
The boy was sitting on the lap of his father who was driving a riding lawnmower at a home on Buttonwood Drive, according to Delaware State Police spokesman Leonard DeMalto.
The boy jumped off the lawnmower and his foot became lodged underneath it, DeMalto said.
He was flown to Nemours Children’s Hospital in Wilmington for the treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.
