Orange County Mother Charged in Fatal E-Motorbike Crash Involving Teen Son
An Orange County mother, Tommi Jo Mejer, faces an involuntary manslaughter charge following the death of 81-year-old Ed Ashman, who was struck by her 14-year-old son riding an electric motorcycle. The incident occurred near a high school in Lake Forest, California. Mejer was initially charged with child endangerment and accessory after the fact, but the charges were upgraded after Ashman's death. The electric motorcycle, which requires a license and is illegal for minors to operate, was involved in a hit-and-run. The district attorney has emphasized the responsibility of parents in preventing such incidents, highlighting the legal consequences of allowing minors to operate illegal vehicles.
