TOLEDO, Ohio — A man was criminally charged Sunday after he allegedly attempted to teach his 9-year-old son how to drive a vehicle, and was run over, Toledo police said.
According to a police report, 36-year-old Clejuan Williams was attempting to teach his 9-year-old child how to back out of a driveway at approximately 10:50 a.m. In a court document, authorities claimed Williams was intoxicated at the time of the incident.
Williams was standing in the door jamb while his child sat in the driver's seat. The child did not know which pedal to press and pressed the gas pedal instead of the brakes, police said.
Williams was knocked down and dragged beneath the car. First responders transported Williams to the hospital. His condition is unknown.
Court records state Williams was charged with endangering children, a first-degree misdemeanor. He was also cited for traffic violations.
