Dominick Perry, 85, has been charged with driving to endanger someone after he backed his car into an 11-year-old boy at Emerald Square Mall in North Attleboro, Massachusetts, on Tuesday. Zachary Rofino was attempting to help his mother, Donna Rofino, remove a stroller from their SUV when the accident happened. The mother was removing her two-year-old when she heard her son screaming from being pinned between Perry’s car and the family SUV.
The child was taken to Hasbro Children’s Hospital in Providence with hip and other injuries, then released.
Perry is denying that the boy was hurt or that his car even touched Zachary Rofino. According to an article in the Boston Herald, he believes that Donna Rofino is “trying to make a few bucks.”
The police cited Perry yesterday and requested that the Registry of Motor Vehicles revoke his license. Perry believes that the revocation of license, and the police citation, are the result of a current wave against senior drivers, brought on by a rash of five serious accidents involving elderly drivers in the last month.
