Akeley Boy Improving

(AP) A 12 year old Akeley boy is described as "Improving" following an accident in the family driveway over the weekend.

The Hubbard County Sheriff's office says the boy's sister accidentally backed over him. Apparently, the boy dashed out from behind a tree when he was struck.

Sheriff Frank Homer says the boy was caught between the muffler and catalytic converter. He says they were so hot, the boy suffered severe burns to his arm and leg, and possible internal injuries.
