ARCANUM – A young child was injured Saturday morning after being run over on a private farm outside of Arcanum. At approximately 10:41 a.m., Arcanum Fire and Rescue responded along with deputies from the Darke County Sheriff’s Office to the 7400 block of Hogpath Road in regards to a child ran over by a vehicle.

According to the Darke County Sheriff’s Department, a preliminary investigation into the incident revealed a 10-year-old boy was sitting on the rear bumper of a red 1974 Step Van used for farm use while his father, 44-year-old Joshua Lavy of Arcanum, was backing the vehicle out of a barn located at 7401 Hogpath.
