LOS ANGELES (AP) — Authorities say a 7-year-old boy riding a motorized bike was hit and killed by an ice cream truck in South Los Angeles and residents then attacked the driver.
Officer Nuria Venegas, a Los Angeles police spokeswoman, says the truck hit the child shortly after 7 p.m. Wednesday, and he later died at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center.
Police say the child had been riding alongside the truck, and the collision was an accident.
Venegas says a crowd then attacked the ice cream truck driver, but he only received bruises.
The driver told police bricks were thrown at his truck and someone threatened him with a knife.
The identities of the boy and driver haven’t been released. It’s unclear who attacked the driver.
Police say the driver will not be charged.

Where were the boy’s parents, and why was he being allowed to drive a motorized bike down the street at the age of seven?

Here is a case that the parents deserve to be arrested for allowing a 7 year old to be on a motorized vehicle in the street. It was an accident waiting to happen.
