BELLEVILLE, Kan. (AP) A 2-year-old Belleville boy has died after being run over by a payloader tractor near Scandia in north-central Kansas.
The Salina Journal reports Cayden Michael Dunstan was with his father, who was strapping down large hay bales that had been loaded onto a semitrailer.
The Republic County Sheriff’s Office says the tractor was being backed away from the trailer when Cayden ran into its path and was run over just after 7 p.m. Saturday.
Cayden’s parents took him to a hospital in Belleville, where he died as a LifeWatch helicopter waited to fly him to a hospital in Omaha, Neb.
