California Woman Charged with Manslaughter After Son's E-Motorcycle Accident Results in Death
A California woman, Tommi Jo Mejer, has been charged with involuntary manslaughter following the death of Ed Ashman, an 81-year-old man struck by her 14-year-old son on an e-motorcycle. The incident occurred on April 16 when Mejer's son was performing wheelies on a Surron e-motorcycle and hit Ashman, who was walking home from his job as a substitute teacher. Ashman, a former U.S. Marine Corps captain, succumbed to his injuries, leading to the charges against Mejer. She faces additional charges, including felony child endangerment, accessory after the fact, and providing false information to an officer. The case highlights the legal responsibilities of parents in preventing minors from engaging in potentially dangerous activities.
