BOSTON -- The state Registry of Motor Vehicles revoked the license of an 85-year-old Seekonk man after he allegedly backed his car up and pinned a boy between two vehicles.

Police said Dominick Perry, 85, of 173 Cherry Hill Road in Seekonk was charged with driving to endanger after allegedly backing his car into the 11-year-old at the Emerald Square Mall on Tuesday.

Zachary Rofino, 11, of 41 Constance Way in North Attleboro, was trying to help remove a stroller from his mother's sport utility vehicle when he was struck, the Attleborough Sun Chronicle reported.

The boy was released from Hasbro Children's Hospital in Providence after being treated for hip and other injuries.

Perry reportedly told police he didn't see anything before backing up and then hearing the boy screaming.

Police asked the RMV to take his license away, calling him an "immediate threat."

The crash was the latest in a rash of Massachusetts crashes involving elderly drivers in the past month.

On June 2, a 93-year-old man hit the gas instead of the brakes and smashed into a Wal-Mart store in Danvers, injuring six people, including a 1-year-old who was hospitalized.

The next day, a 73-year-old Plymouth woman jumped a curb in a minivan, ramming into a group of people at a war memorial ceremony and on June 5, a Somerset couple in their 80s were hurt when they smashed into a storefront.

On June 13 an 88-year-old Canton woman struck and killed a 4-year-old girl in a crosswalk in Stoughton. In Melrose last weekend, an 86-year-old woman hit an 84-year-old man, leaving him in critical condition. In Woburn, Tuesday, an 83-year-old driver hit another car head-on. His 84-year-old wife died later after suffering injuries in the crash.

The spate of crashes has triggered a call for legislators to enact legislation toughening restrictions for older drivers. Proposed bills would require drivers 85 and older to have more frequent eye and road tests.
