A white woman in Florida slapped an 11-year-old black child in
the face and called him a racial slur when he crashed into her
from behind on a go-kart track, police said.

Haley Erin Zager, 30, of Lantana, told police in Boca Raton she
had stopped her ride at Boomers amusement park on Saturday when
another go-kart rear-ended at “full speed,” according to an
arrest report obtained by the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

Zager said she then “tapped” the boy’s face when he didn’t
apologize, police said.

Zager admitted to police she shouldn’t have struck the boy, but
told an employee at the amusement park after the crash that the
“f–king n—-r” hit her in the back, according to the arrest
report.

Three employees at the park saw Zager hit the youngster after
getting out of her go-kart, police said.

The boy’s father said the crash occurred after another go-kart
rammed into a row of vehicles on the track, setting off a chain
of collisions sending the boy’s cart into Zager’s, police said.

Another boy at the park said Zager slapped the 11-year-old child
with an open palm before telling a bystander “the n—-r hit me,”
according to the arrest report.

The 11-year-old recalled the same version of events leading up
to the crash, saying his go-kart was unintentionally pushed into
the woman’s. He told police he didn’t hear what she said because
he was so startled by being slapped by the woman, the arrest
report states.

The boy, who had swelling on his left cheek, was treated by
paramedics at the scene who gave him an ice pack, the newspaper
reports.

Zager, who was charged with second-degree felony child abuse,
admitted to officers that she hit the boy, but denied using the
slur, court records show.

Police said they also found an Altoids tin packed with various
pills in Zager’s underwear during a search as she was arrested.
She was also charged with four counts of drug possession for the
prescription pills, according to the arrest report.

Zager, who was released from jail Monday, declined comment when
reached Tuesday by the Palm Beach Post, the newspaper reports.
