A nine-year-old boy accidentally ran over his dad while he was teaching him how to drive, police have said.
Clejuan Williams, 36, from Toledo, Ohio, was taken to hospital after trying to teach his son how to reverse a car on Sunday, according to officers.
The child got into the driver’s seat and was allegedly told by his dad to press down on one of the pedals, but did not know which was which.
Video broadcast by local news outlet WTVG showed the car quickly reversing while Mr Williams was standing next to its open door.
As the vehicle sped backwards, Mr Williams was knocked over and dragged under the car, before it came to a stop when it hit a pole in the street.
Toledo Fire and Rescue crews then took the man to the hospital. His condition is unknown.
A court filing said Mr Williams was allegedly intoxicated at the time and is facing charges of wrongful entrustment of a motor vehicle, as well as endangering children.
