Grieving Mother Fights for Justice 18 Months After Son's Tragic Death

In March 2024, 9-year-old Max Abercrombie was tragically killed in a hit-and-run accident in Far East Dallas. His grieving mother, Jamie Abercrombie, has been fighting for justice ever since, as the driver responsible has yet to be charged.

On the day of the incident, Max was riding his scooter near his grandmother's home when he was struck by a pickup truck. Abercrombie, who was the first to reach her son, immediately began performing CPR, but Max succumbed to his injuries at the hospital.

The driver, who was questioned at the scene, was allowed to go home, and police later determined that "no offense occurred." This decision has left Abercrombie and her family devastated, as they continue to seek an arrest, a grand jury presentation, and the release of all investigative materials.

Abercrombie has described the aftermath as a "wound that I have to keep opening," as she struggles to come to terms with the loss of her son. Max's family has started a clothing brand to keep his memory alive, and they have received an outpouring of support from the community.

Despite the police's stance, the family's attorney believes the incident was a "hit-and-run" that could even be ruled as manslaughter. The Abercrombies remain determined to find justice for Max, hoping that their son's tragic death will not be in vain.
