California mom charged with involuntary manslaughter after teen’s high-powered e-motorcycle kills pedestrian

A southern California mother faces involuntary manslaughter and additional counts after her 14-year-old son, riding a high-powered Surron e-motorcycle, struck and killed an 81-year-old man. Prosecutors say she allowed illegal riding despite warnings, adding charges of felony child endangerment, accessory after the fact, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor; she could face up to about 7 years and 8 months in prison if convicted. The case highlights ongoing debates over parental liability and safety around e-motorcycles for youths.

OC Mom Charged After Teen’s Illegal E-Motorcycle Crash Leaves 81-Year-Old in Critical Condition

An Orange County mother, 50-year-old Tommi Jo Mejer, faces felony and misdemeanor charges after her 14-year-old son illegally rode a high‑speed e-motorcycle and collided with 81-year-old Ed Ashman, a Vietnam War veteran and substitute teacher, who remains in critical condition. Deputies had warned Mejer last year about allowing her son to ride the vehicle, which can be modified to reach near 60 mph; she now faces counts including felony child endangerment, accessory after the fact, and several misdemeanors, as prosecutors push for parental accountability. A GoFundMe has been set up for Ashman’s recovery.
