According to Officer Nicole Tucker’s affidavit to the summons filed in Toledo Clerk of Court, 36-year-old Clejuan Williams let his 9-year-old son get behind the wheel and instructed him to “press the pedals.”

According to the affidavit, the child did not know which pedal to press and accidentally put the car in reverse. That is when the vehicle drove backward into a pole across the street.

According to local news station WTOL 11, court documents showed Williams intoxicated at the time. He was knocked down and dragged beneath the car, then taken to the hospital.
