Thread: Tradgic Accident

Condolences to the family and feel sorry for the worker.

Hawke’s Bay Police are investigating the death of a four-year-old boy who
died after he was run over by a tractor mower at a Hastings park this
evening.

The accident occurred at Camberley Park on Orchard Rd in Hastings just after
5pm. Police understand the boy had been playing at the park with older
cousins when he was hit by the tractor as it mowed the grass on the park. He
died at the scene as a result of his injuries. The tractor was towing a
rotary gang mower.

The boy is from Camberley. His name will not be released until all family
have been notified.

The Police Serious Crash Unit is investigating and there is also an OSH
investigation underway.

No further information will be available tonight.
