A Detroit man was arrested this week for allegedly continuing to drive to work after hitting and killing a 5-year-old boy riding his bike across a street in Warren, Michigan, according to reports.
The unidentified suspect was taken into custody after he allegedly ditched his Jeep in a Taco Bell parking lot and went to work at a Chrysler plant in Sterling Heights. "It's just like a bad dream," the boy's father, Christopher Singleton, told FOX 2. "It's hard to comprehend. It just happened less than 24 hours. I want to wake up from this. I just want to hug him and bring him back. The kid was full of life. He lit up every room. He was so happy and just enjoyed life." Warren Police Commissioner Bill Dwyer said the driver was speeding up to make the light and the child was thrown about 80 feet. He was later pronounced dead at a hospital.More Related News
