Police: Driver Hit Skateboarding Boy, Left Him To Die
POSTED: 12:17 am EST November 24, 2005
UPDATED: 6:47 am EST November 25, 2005
A 24-year-old man in DeLand, Fla., was arrested early Thursday on suspicion he ran down a skateboarding teen and then left the boy to die in the road, police told Local 6 News.
Florida Highway Patrol Troopers said Wendall Maxwell was driving his 1995 Isuzu Rodeo sport utility vehicle at about 5 p.m. on West Parkway when he ran over Aaron Klothe, 14.
Investigators said the vehicle was traveling at "a high rate of speed" when it struck Klothe from behind and did not slow down.
"It is bad enough it was a child or any human being," Florida Highway Patrol officer Richard Ritter said. "But to leave the scene as far as that goes, it gets your dander up."
A spokeswoman for Maxwell said he was confused.
