Parents face criminal charges after autopsy reveals 13-year-old son's fatal 45mph e-bike crash injuries
Benson Nguyen struck a raised divider in Garden Grove at around 45mph on May 7, faster than officials first said. He had broken his leg on another electric vehicle just six months earlier. His father, Vu Thanh Nguyen, 56, is charged with felony child endangerment, and his mother, Hong Cuc Thi Nguyen, 49, with a misdemeanour. The couple are due to be arraigned on November 12.
TikTok videos show the boy doing wheelies into oncoming traffic and outrunning police cars.
