Ed Ashman Lake Forest, 81-year-old Vietnam Dies From E-Motorcycle Accident

Ed Ashman, an 81-year-old Vietnam veteran and renowned educator, passed away from injuries a month after being hit by an electric motorcycle, leaving the Lake Forest neighborhood in mourning.

He was reportedly hit by an off-highway motorcycle on April 16 while walking home from Toledo Way and Ridge Route Drive near El Toro High School. The motorcycle was apparently piloted by a 14-year-old who was later taken into custody.

The 14-year-old youngster hit him and left the scene while riding a Surron Ultra Bee e-motorcycle, allegedly while doing wheelies.

The powerful bike, which has a top speed of 58 mph, was being driven without the necessary insurance, license, or registration.

Ashman's family announced his death via a GoFundMe site, thanking everyone for their support and stating that contributions will lessen the cost of his funeral and medical expenses.

When confirmed, more information will be released to the public.
