RUSHSYLVANIA, Ohio (AP) – Authorities in western Ohio say an 18-month-old boy died after being crushed between a lawn mower and a pickup truck over the weekend.

Logan County Sheriff Randall Dodds tells the Bellefontaine Examiner that the accident occurred Sunday afternoon outside a home in the village of Rushsylvania, about 50 miles northwest of Columbus. Someone at the home reportedly had been trying to jump-start the lawnmower.

The child was rushed to a hospital but died. Investigators interviewed his relatives but didn’t immediately release the boy’s name or other details about how the accident occurred.
