DSP Senior Corporal Leonard DeMalto tells the Talk of Delmarva that troopers learned that the boy was riding on his father鈥檚 lap on a riding mower when he jumped off. The boy鈥檚 foot became lodged under the mower and was severed. He was flown to AI Dupont for further medical treatment for non-life-threatening injuries.
