Most people don’t expect car problems while mowing their lawn.
The Athens County Sheriff’s Office responded to Dead Road in Glouster on Tuesday regarding a lawnmower striking a neighbor's vehicle.
The caller said after shutting off her lawn mower at the top of the driveway, it rolled back into the neighbor’s vehicle. She admitted to some of the damage being from the lawn mower, but not all of it. After making contact with the owner of the vehicle, they agreed that not all of the damage was from the mower. The parties agreed to resolve the issue themselves.
