A 4-year-old child was killed Wednesday afternoon, when he was accidentally backed over by his father.

Diishaun Minor was playing in the yard at a home off Ga. Highway 162. His 45-year-old father was backing out of the driveway when the 4-year-old ran into the path of the vehicle, according to the Georgia State Patrol.

The boy was taken to Newton Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.

His father will not be charged in the accident.
