Man charged with letting son drive

LONG ISLAND - No one was injured in the crash, which happened Wednesday night in a convenience store parking lot in Selden.

Suffolk police say Craig Griffith let his 10-year-old son drive while his 9-year-old nephew was in the back seat.

Police say the boy crashed into an occupied car, and the father then moved into the driver's seat and fled.

Griffith was arrested Thursday night and charged with reckless endangerment and endangering the welfare of a child.
