A tragic accident claimed the life of an 88-year-old South Carolina man who was mowing the lawn Monday.
Daniel Lee Shaw died as he drove the lawnmower on his property before it flipped over into a creek and trapped him underwater.
The victim couldn't free himself due to the equipment's heavy weight and died there.
