Boy killed in collision with LA ice cream truck - seattlepi.com
I almost feel worse for the ice cream truck driver than anyone else. It sounds like an unfortunate accident that this man will have to live with for the rest of his life. An all-around sad story.
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.
LAPD spokeswoman Officer Nuria Venegas 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 had only bruises.
The driver told police bricks were thrown at his truck and someone threatened him with a knife.
No names have been released.
