A three-year-old driving a golf cart ran over his older brother in their home in Florida.
The fatal incident happened on Monday afternoon in the city of Fort Myers.
The victim, aged seven, suffered critical injuries and was rushed to hospital where he was pronounced dead, WFLA reported.
It is yet unclear if the siblings were at home alone and how the little boy gained access to the golf cart.

It is understood he was not wearing a seatbelt, but was not injured in the incident.
Further details about what happened remain scarce, and both youngsters remain anonymous in local reports.
‘We are still sorting through this, what led up to the tragedy,’ Florida Highway Patrol’s Lieutenant Greg Bueno told Fox 4.
‘Whether the seven-year-old was always outside of the cart, or was he initially in the cart with the three-year-old.’
He stressed that this is a tragedy and the department’s thoughts and prayers are with the family, but confirmed that an investigation is underway ‘because a little boy lost his life’.
‘We are wanting to know where the adults were, who was on property who was outside, who was inside,’ Lt Bueno added.
This comes after Florida governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill in May raising the age for golf cart drivers.
