The legal consequences for a California mother have escalated significantly following a fatal crash involving her young son and his e-motorcycle. Tommi Jo Mejer is now facing a charge of involuntary manslaughter, among other serious allegations, in connection with the death of 81-year-old Ed Ashman.
The incident unfolded near El Toro High School, where the 14-year-old boy was reportedly performing tricks in the street while operating a Surron e-motorcycle. According to the Orange County District Attorney’s Office, the boy struck Ashman, a decorated Vietnam veteran and substitute teacher. Then, the teenager allegedly fled the scene. When the deputies arrived, they provided Ashman with medical attention, but he succumbed to his injuries on April 30.
