58-Year-Old Purposefully Runs Over 12-Year-Old On His EV Dirt Bike

Posted • January 19, 2025: Gold Coast hospitality boss Howard Wright has been fined for driving in a “dangerous manner” after knocking a 12-year-old boy from his electric dirt bike. Footage of the shocking interaction, first reported by the Gold Coast Bulletin, shows the moment the boy was allegedly hit by the 58-year-old’s Audi A5 in Paradise Point, around midday on January 6. In the video, filmed on the boy’s helmet-mounted GoPro and uploaded by him to Instagram, Mr Wright’s Audi can be seen driving toward him. Moments later, the boy falls from his bike, and while lying on the ground, begins to yell: “I didn’t do nothing. I didn’t do nothing.” - “What the f**k?” the boy continues, as Mr Wright exits his car and approaches him. “I didn’t do nothing, I didn’t do nothing. I wasn’t even there. Why did you hit me?” - “I know you didn’t do anything,” Mr Wright responds, before telling the boy: “This bike is illegal.” The boy questions why Mr Wright “hit” him, to which he says: “You ran in front of my car. I’m sorry.”
