13-Year-Old Runs Over, Kills Father

Bronx man, 45, was teaching boy to drive Porsche SUV

Share

(Newser) – A 13-year-old Bronx boy accidentally killed his father last night while trying to park the family’s Porsche SUV, the New York Post reports. The family had just eaten at a restaurant, and waiters heard the boy ask if he could move the car. John Cedeno, 45, stood beside the open passenger-side door, and was pinned against a tree when his son put the vehicle in reverse.

“He was bleeding a lot from his mouth,” one witness said of Cedeno, who was pronounced dead at the scene. The son stood staring, screaming, “I hurt him! I hurt him!” Sources say it is unlikely he will be charged with any wrongdoing.

My condolences; a real tragedy and I really feel for this family, but this is why we don't let 13 year olds drive... Reply

The Dad's cognition might have been affected by alcohol consumption, if he wasn't alert enough to stand away from the car. Why wasn't he in it, for that matter, rather than outside of it? If proximity to the tree was an issue, then Dad should not have allowed an inexperienced driver to take the wheel. My god, such a loss and so easily avoidable. Reply

Way to jump to any number of conclusions with no facts whatsoever.
