The Orange County District Attorney’s Office filed a felony child‑endangerment charge against Benson Nguyen, 56, and Vu Thanh Nguyen after their 13‑year‑old son died in a collision with a light pole. The teen was riding an electric motorcycle at roughly 40 mph in Garden Grove, California, when the crash occurred in May 2026, and prosecutors say the parents endangered the child.
The deceased was a resident of Santa Ana. The charge represents a single felony count alleging child endangerment by the parents.
