According to police, Williams had told his son to press down on the pedal. His son, not knowing which pedal his dad was referring to, allegedly pressed down on the gas pedal.
Williams’ neighbor told WTVG said he is recovering in the hospital. The neighbor said Williams told him he was trying to get his keys back – not teaching his son to drive – when the accident happened.
Williams is charged with wrongful entrustment of a motor vehicle and endangering children.
