A 12-year-old boy was killed Friday while riding an electric scooter he got a day earlier for Christmas.

Roman Martinez pulled out of his driveway directly into the path of an oncoming car, KTLA-TV reported.

"He got everything he wanted," his younger sister Rylie Martinez told the station. "It was his happiest Christmas."

The crash occurred just before noon just north of Upland, a small city east of Los Angeles. The boy's father said his son was wearing a helmet. He was airlifted to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Officers with the California Highway Patrol said the boy collided with a 1998 Honda Civic being driven by a 30-year-old woman. The woman "applied her brakes but was unable to stop prior to colliding with the juvenile," the officers said.

They were trying to determine if the woman was speeding. She was questioned by police. No charges were filed.

KTLA said residents complained that the street is dangerous with motorists speeding past.

"I just think people need to be a little more mindful, especially in neighborhoods," Kathy Barnes, the boy's grandmother, said.

She said her godson was a good kid, "never sad, always happy."

"Don't have words or any explanation why these things happen to good people, especially children," she told the station.
