Toddler killed after being hit by skid steer

The small child killed Friday after being struck by a skid steer near Pembroke has been identified.

Funeral services will be Tuesday morning for 15-month old Bradley Martin of Beeker Road, according to an obituary from Lamb Funeral Home.

His father was using the skid steer to move some crates inside a barn in the 2800 block of Beeker Road a little after 3:30 p.m. Friday and didn’t realize his son was behind him, according to Christian County Sheriff’s Major Jason Newby.

The boy was struck when the man attempted to reverse the skid steer and he was pronounced dead at the scene by Christian County Coroner Scott Daniel.
