MOUNTAIN HOME, Arkansas (AP) -- Neither father nor son saw each other until it was too late as they approached the crest of a hill on a rural gravel road.
Steven Roth, 41, in his pickup truck, collided with his 16-year-old son Samuel B. Roth, who was doing a wheelie on his dirt bike. The boy died before paramedics arrived.
"I don't know that I could find either one of them at fault," Sheriff John Montgomery said.
The crash took place Thursday near the family's home, along a road just wide enough for two cars to pass each other.
"I can't imagine what the family is going through," the sheriff said. "My heart goes out for them. I've got kids of my own. I can't imagine."
