Boy recovers after he’s run over by dad’s lawnmower

Last year, Sean was riding on a lawnmower in his backyard with his three-year-old son, Roan, in his lap.

“Roan would always ride with me, and it was one of our favorite things and he wanted to go inside and get a bottle and so I let him off,” Sean said. “So I was like ok, now’s my chance, I’m going to pick up speed and get it done,” he said. “As I’m mowing I’m still looking back behind me to my left, as I’m going backwards because the kids are in the house and that’s to the left.”

What Sean didn’t know is that Roan sneaked back outside - and stood waiting in a blind spot.

“I start to wheel backwards and swing, and as I'm looking back behind me, he was back and to my right,” said Sean. “As soon as I hit him I knew that it should not have happened. I immediately stood up and I saw him, and he was right there. He’s looking up at me, he’s really confused.”

Sean said what happened next is blur.
