NORTH ATTLEBORO - The state Registry of Motor Vehicles has revoked the driver's license of an 85-year-old man who allegedly backed his car into a parking space, pinning an 11-year-old boy between two vehicles.

Dominick Perry, 85, of 173 Cherry Hill Road in Seekonk, was charged with driving to endanger in the accident Monday afternoon in the Macy's parking garage at Emerald Square mall, police said.

The boy, Zachary Rofino, 11, of 41 Constance Way in North Attleboro, was attempting to remove a stroller from the rear of his mother's sport utility vehicle when the car driven by Perry allegedly backed into him, police said.

The boy was pinned between the vehicles until his mother, Donna Rofino, banged on Perry's window to get him to move forward, according to a police report.

The boy was taken by local ambulance to Hasbro Children's Hospital in Providence for treatment of hip and related injuries before being released, police said. Police said Perry told them he didn't see anything when he backed up and then heard screaming, according to the report.

The Registry's action was taken after police faxed a report on the accident asking the Registry to take Perry's driver's license, and calling him an "immediate threat."

Ann Dufresne, a Registry spokeswoman, said Perry has a right of appeal but a hearing - if requested - will not be scheduled until after the motor vehicle charge against him is resolved in court.

Perry has no other incidents on his driver's history, according to the spokeswoman.

The accident was one of six serious accidents involving elderly drivers in the state over the past four weeks and occurred the same day the Registry of Motor Vehicles revoked the license of an 86-year-old Malden woman who struck and severely injured an elderly pedestrian in Melrose on Sunday.

On Tuesday, an 83-year-old Malden man was being charged in connection with a two-car accident in which the woman driver of the other vehicle was sent to Massachusetts General Hospital with life-threatening injuries. Police also are seeking to have his driver's license revoked.

Two weeks ago, the Registry revoked the driver's license of an elderly Canton woman who struck and fatally injured a 4-year-old Stoughton girl in a pedestrian walkway in Stoughton. Police cited the woman with motor vehicle homicide by negligent operation.

In an accident in Danvers on June 2, a 93-year-old man hit the gas pedal instead of the brake and drove his car into the entrance of a Wal-Mart. Six people were reported injured.

The following day in Plymouth, seven people were injured when a car driven by a 73-year-old woman jumped a curb and went into a crowd of spectators at a war memorial.

The spate of highly publicized accidents involving elderly drivers has sparked legislators to act on calls to require regular testing based on age. One bill would require drivers 85 and older to pass a road and eye test every five years to have their license renewed. Currently, Massachusetts drivers are only required to renew their licenses every five years and to take an eye test every 10 years.
