On Thursday, in Los Angeles neighboring residents beat up an ice cream truck driver after he accidentally hit and killed a 7 year old boy with his truck while the boy was driving his motorized bike through his neighborhood. The collision with the boy, the driver said was an accident. While the boy was driving his bike beside the ice cream truck his bike slipped and fell under the back wheel of the truck. The driver sustained bruises from the beating said that bricks were thrown at his truck and he was also threatened with a knife. A while after he was taken to a police station for protection. One neighbors claims that she stepped outside her house, and saw the boy bleeding on the road. She said that she just tried her best to comfort the family.
In my opinion this is such a tragic accident. It is fortunate that the ice cream truck driver was not harmed as the death of the boy was a freak accident. Still I still think that there probably could have been more parental supervision with the boy and I think that the ice cream truck driver could have been more aware. I hope the family of the child recovers from their loss.
