A six-year-old elementary school student in Silver Lake is in a medically-induced coma after a Monday accident.
Authorities say a landscaper was mowing a median on a nearby street while Alex Hook was playing during recess.
The mower apparently hit a piece of rebar in the grass, throwing it several feet to hit the victim in the back of his head.
The accident at Riverview Elementary School happened last Friday.
The boy remains in critical condition in a Kenosha County hospital.
Doctors say the child suffered a fractured skull and brain bleeding.
He was airlifted to Children’s Wisconsin hospital in Milwaukee where he had emergency brain surgery.
