Truck Hits, Kills Youth Running Across Freeway
The teenage son of a well-known Glendale radio station owner, fleeing from pursuing police Tuesday in a noise complaint case, tried to run across the Golden State Freeway in Burbank where he was hit and killed by a semitrailer truck, police reported.
He was identified by a family spokesman as Sean Michael Beaton, youngest son of Ron Beaton, co-owner of radio station KIEV.
The 18-year-old, who was scheduled to join the Army Thursday, had run away from police investigating a complaint that a motorist had been honking a car horn excessively.
