A Colorado man has been charged with attempted murder after he staged a car crash to kill his toddler son, according to local reports.
Nathan Weitzel reportedly told investigators that he intentionally drove his car into other vehicles at a speed of 75 mph, because he couldn’t handle the responsibility of fatherhood, reported 9NEWS.
According to court records obtained by 9NEWS, Weitzel formulated the plan to kill his 2-year-old son, Isaiah, while the two were at a local park on Aug. 21. After he found a “good place to crash the car,” the young father purposefully did not place Isaiah in a car seat or restrain him before proceeding to barrel into cars.
