WDSU Investigates has uncovered a new video linked to the death of a 12-year-old Kenner boy after an ice cream truck plowed into his family's apartment. Javier Adrian Flores Fajardo's father has already lost his son and home. He made it clear today that he wants one thing: justice.

The new, chilling video shows a different angle of the ice cream truck that crashed right into Javier Flores' home. His 12-year-old son Adrian was killed."I remember the last words I told him, and that's what's killing me," Flores said. The boy was playing video games inside the apartment when the truck slammed into the home last month near Dartmouth Street and Clemson Drive in Kenner."This accident has traumatized me," Flores said. "The loss of my son, and when I'm driving, tears come out just thinking I lost my son in the blink of an eye."Police say Mechael Mansoor is the driver of the truck. He's facing a negligent homicide charge because the city of Kenner says he did not have a permit to legally operate the truck.Heres what he told WDSU Investigates last week.

WDSU asked Mansoor if he was speeding. "No, I was so slow, and the van suddenly went too fast," Mansoor said.According to a crash report, a witness saw the vehicle slowly approaching a stop signthe vehicle rolled through the stop sign/intersection when he heard the engine rev.The crash report says the ice cream truck went 25 feet into the apartment. Police say the speed limit was 20 mph; they estimate the driver was traveling 42 mph. Police said there were no signs of braking. The report says surveillance video shows the driver "jerk" right to avoid striking a parked vehicle in the parking lot prior to impact with the apartment.The driver told police, "There was nothing I could do," the police report says when in fact, applying the vehicle's brakes would have altered this incident's outcome.Police also say Mansoor told them the gas pedal malfunctioned and was stuck. Police said it was determined the pedal was not stuck.

Kenner police also said the initial patrol officer and investigating traffic officer both interviewed Mechael Mansoor and neither detected any levels of impairment.

Mansoor's blood was drawn at the hospital upon his immediate arrival after the motor vehicle crash.

The examining physician at the hospital submitted the blood for blood alcohol testing, which yielded negative results.

The physician then proceeded with a thorough physical exam of Mansoor and stated that she observed no physical sign of impairment, therefore, discontinued further toxicology screening of the drawn blood for drugs or narcotics. Adrian's father says while the driver is out on bond. He and his wife are homeless and have to replay in their minds every day what happened.

"He stayed in the bedroom watching him play video games. Around five minutes later, Adrian told him to leave the bedroom. The van crashed into the apartment, so I would have died with him if I would have never obeyed him."
