Detectives seeking additional tips from witnesses

WARREN – What began as a driving lesson between a father and daughter on Sunday afternoon ended in tragedy after the 62-year-old Warren man was fatally struck by the vehicle.

Police say the man was teaching his 18-year-old daughter how to parallel park around 4 p.m. in the 24000 block of Warner Avenue, when she reportedly struck her father and dragged him a short distance before coming to a stop.
