PALATKA, Fla. -- Authorities said a 6-year-old boy died after getting struck by a car in front of his Putnam County Friday night. Family members gathered Saturday afternoon at the scene to offer each other support and remember a boy they called energetic and adventurous.Investigators with the Florida Highway Patrol said Tamarious Matson, 6, was attempting to cross St. Johns Avenue and Wells Avenue about 10 p.m. when he was struck by a car. The boy's family said they were supervising him as he and several friends played in their front yard. They didn't know why the child stepped into the road."I don't really know exactly what happened, all I know is he got hit by a car," said Dexter Fields, the boy's uncle. "I don't know if he was trying to cross the road or whether he was just walking or something."
Troopers said Elona Williams, 36, was driving east on St. Johns Avenue when her car hit Matson. FHP said Williams tried to swerve away from Matson, but could not avoid a collision.Troopers said Matson died at the scene.Family members said several people saw the boy get hit by the car, including his own mother."I seen it, it was crazy. Seeing him lying there," said a tearful Jakeisha McCaskill, who was Tomerious' cousin. "I loved him so much, and his momma needed him. But God took him to a better place, he's in Heaven now."
Family members said they didn't know what else to do. They lost another relative a few years earlier on the same road. He, too, was struck and killed by a car on St. Johns Avenue. But Fields told Channel 4 loved ones are trying to remain optimistic and are just asking for everyone's prayers."Regardless of what happened here on Earth, God has some special plan for him somewhere else," said Fields. "And I really do believe that he's in a better place."The crash remains under investigation and charges are pending. According to the FHP report, Williams did not have alcohol in her system at the time of the wreck.
i can agree with them on one point " the child is in a better place!!" i'm wondering if they are just a bunch of inbred characters that have no respect for life. even one of their own.
here is a comment made on this story link:
"i live a few blocks from this family. and yesterday they was having a party there so sad a child just died and they was passing the 40. around like nothing.and playing music"
now,............what do you think?
some folks don't even deserve to have children. i loved the comment that they had lost another child a few years ago to that road. some folks just don't learn!! then again,........they didn't love that little boy. all that they saw in him was just another check from the welfare office.
I'm hoping that the welfare department breaks up their little scam game. i wouldn't even mind if a few of them spent the rest of their lives in prison, and i don't believe that prison is fit for a human being!! fortunately, were talking about people here that are less than human.
you decide.....................i'm pissed!!...............
.............much love
