I just heard that a 13-year-old was driving the truck involved in the crash in Texas.

13-year-old was driving truck involved in crash that...

And also, that a tire blew just before the crash...

wondering if DUI involved.

Even in Texas, 13 is too young for driver's ed classes, you have to be 14, and 15 for a provisional license that requires a second licensed driver as the front passenger.

I was 14 when I got my license. They changed the law to 16 two years later.
14 is way to young.

LisaNWOSU2000 : I don't know.

JavaWinters 😷 : It certainly seems way too young.

JingleBob™ : You were a young driver!

mimi : not unheard of intoxicated parent has a minor drive

Farm kids often learn to drive young - but on the road like this?

mimi : it was a spare tire too

LisaNWOSU2000 : Yes, that's what went through my mind. Sad, very sad.

12DaisyofXmas : Yes, about the farm kids. But a dangerous road? One would hope not. Yet it happened.

CajunSheryl : Yes. If it hadn't been a bad tire, the accident might not have happened.

Reportedly a 38 year old was also in the pickup truck.
