A young boy tragically lost his life over the weekend when he was crushed by a piece of sporting equipment on the NSW Mid North Coast.
The two-year-old had been with his father at an oval on Albatross Way, Old Bar, near Taree, on Sunday at about 2pm, when a piece of sports equipment suddenly fell and struck him.
Bystanders rushed to perform CPR after the father called for help but the toddler was unable to be saved.
