A four-year-old boy is expected to make a full recovery, following a frightening backyard accident on the Central Coast.

Police say the toddler was hit by his mother, who was reversing a ride-on mower, at their Mardi property late yesterday afternoon.

He was airlifted to Westmead Children’s Hospital, where he underwent surgery for a laceration on his right thigh.

He remains there in a stable condition.
