Ohio dad drunk while giving 9-year-old driving lesson hit by car

TOLEDO, Ohio (WJW) – A Toledo man was injured Sunday after he allegedly took his 9-year-old son on a driving lesson while drunk.

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.

According to PEOPLE , Williams is charged with one count of first-degree misdemeanor endangerment of children by creating a substantial risk to their health or safety and wrongful entrustment of a vehicle to a person who does not have a valid license.

According to PEOPLE, Williams is set to be arraigned on Wednesday, Oct. 16 at 1 p.m. local time.
