A Louisa County man is dead after a car struck his riding lawnmower on Route 522 Saturday morning.
Garrett Lyron Jackson, 46, of Mineral, was on a riding lawnmower attempting to turn the mower around in the roadway to make his way back onto the lawn. A vehicle driven by Brent Davis, 21, of Mineral, hit his brakes to attempt to stop as he came around a curve, but the car struck the rear of the mower.
Jackson was thrown from the mower. He was transported to the hospital and later pronounced dead.
