7 year old boy run over by float

Being run over by a float gives new meaning to raining on your parade.

Poor little guy. :(

What is with Florida anyway?

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. — A 7-year-old boy was injured Saturday morning when he was pulled underneath a float in the St. Augustine Christmas Parade, according to police.

Jacob Johns, of St. Augustine, was riding on the St. Johns County Parks and Recreation parade float about 11:30 a.m. near the corner of Castillo Drive and San Marco Avenue when he was run over, according to the St. Augustine Police Department.

    This was my grandson - Jacob Jones and he is doing fine, he has a fractured pelvic bone and a sprained ankle. It could of been alot worse and we are very thankful it wasn’t. The comment about what is it about Florida? This could have happened anywhere, it was an accident. We have received alot of thoughts and prayers which are very much appreciated. It makes you realize just how precious life is.

    Glad he’s fine, KInd of makes me think of the song, Grandma got run over by a reindeer..I would not have said it if he was hurt badly but since he will be fine and GODDESS BLESS HIM ANYWAY, but I had to hopefully put a smile on his face thinking about the Grandma song…
