A Shelbyville toddler was taken to an area hospital after suffering traumatic foot injuries Wednesday morning in a lawnmower accident.

The 15-month-old boy caught his foot under a push mower operated by his mother at a residence east of 10th Street on 124th Avenue.

The accident occurred at about 9 a.m. Wednesday, according to Lt. John Damveld of the Allegan County Sheriff’s Office.
