Clement asked [Ronald D. Nichols] to move two trucks from the driveway so he could drive a lawn mower down in front of the house. As Nichols put the second truck into reverse, Clement’s son tried to jump up on the tailgate, Clement said. He was unsuccessful and the truck ran him over, causing serious head injuries that resulted in his death. Clement has not contacted police officials about Nichols yet, saying it was too early to focus on anything but his son’s death. Cedar said the charges would remain the same even if Clement tried to intervene. Clement said his son was looking forward to going to school this fall at Lettie Marshall Dent Elementary School. But the younger Clement’s passion was NASCAR, and he loved going with his father to Potomac Speedway to see the races, Clement said. Source : pqasb.pqarchiver.com |
