Grandfather Backs Over, Kills 2-Year-Old Grandson

PRESTON, Minn. (WCCO) ― A 2-year-old boy was killed near Mabel, Minn. after he was run over by his grandfather, who was backing up in a pickup truck.

According to the Fillmore County Sheriff's Office, two children were riding in the back of the truck. The victim's grandfather believed the two were seated near the center when he went to back it up.

Authorities said the child was run over before his grandfather realized he was not seated on the back of the pickup.

The accident is still being investigated. It's not currently known how the victim ended up on the ground.

The boy's identity hasn't been released.
