RELATED: Bond set at $1 million for father charged with murder in crash that killed 10-year-old son in NE Harris County“He was just really kind and he cared about people. He was a good person,” 12-year-old Chance Lewis said.“We lived in his neighborhood and I knew him because I went over to his house and played with him and his sisters. His sister was like my best friend, she still goes to my school,” he said.
Officials said the boy’s father, Comacho-Patino, is now charged with his murder. Authorities said he was driving while under the influence and heading north on FM 2100. His rear tire blew out, which caused his GMC Sierra pickup truck to roll over and go into a ditch. His son was in the passenger seat and was partially thrown from the truck. He died at the scene and officials said he was not wearing a seatbelt.
“It seems like everything that could go wrong, did go wrong in that situation,” Janette Fennell, president and founder of Kids and Car Safety said.“If have your seat belt on, it’s very survivable,” she said. The Harris County District Attorney’s Office said there are more than 17,500 open DWI and intoxication manslaughter cases. A judge set Camacho-Patino’s bond at $1,000,000.“When they die, 50%-60% of them are not wearing a seat belt or not correctly restrained in a car seat, 50-60%. What does that tell you about the effectiveness of seat belts but two, how important it is to make sure that everyone is bucked up?” she said.Copyright 2023 by KPRC Click2Houston - All rights reserved.
