July 9, 2010 (East San Diego) – Samuel Metu has been arrested for felony hit-and-run. Metu was the driver of a 2000 Toyota Corolla that struck and killed a four-year-old boy in the 6700 block of Madrone Avenue in the Skyline neighborhood shortly before noon today.

 

The victim’s 12-year-old brother had crossed the street to get a dog and told the youngster to wait on the sidewalk, but the child ran into the street. After the accident, Metu left the scene but later returned. The boy was taken to a hospital, where he later died.

My comment about accident is we shouldn't blame the drlve for what happen that faithful day, the mother as to take part because she left her son unattend to knowing full well that the neighborhood she live in is not safe street. She even admit that her dog was killed in the same spot, that did not make her think about letting a 4 yrs old on the street with aa 12 yrs old. My opinon is the mother fault for not looking out for her children.
