Orange County Mother Charged with Manslaughter After Son's E-Motorbike Accident Kills 81-Year-Old

An Orange County mother, Tommi Jo Mejer, has been charged with involuntary manslaughter following the death of 81-year-old Ed Ashman.

The boy was performing wheelies on a 2025 Surron Ultra Bee e-motorcycle, which requires a license and a minimum age of 16 to operate legally. Despite previous warnings from law enforcement, Mejer allowed her son to ride the motorcycle. After Ashman's death, additional charges were filed against Mejer, including child endangerment and providing false information to a peace officer. If convicted, she faces up to seven years and eight months in prison.
