AKELEY, MINN. - A Hubbard County family is mourning the death of a 4-year-old boy whose father accidentally backed over him while plowing snow.
Relatives say Kyle Vredenburg was riding his bicycle Thursday when he headed near where his father was plowing. The boy's uncle Marv Vredenburg said Kyle's sister tried to call him back, but it was too late.
The uncle said Kyle died en route to an airport, where he was to be flown to a hospital in Fargo.
Hubbard County Sheriff Cory Aukes said he won't seek charges against the father. Kyle's death was a tragic event, and "you can't help but feel for the family," he said.
