According to the Florida Highway Patrol, a 14-year-old driver is responsible for a crash that killed two people in North Florida that were riding in the Ford Mustang that he was driving.
In an article from News4Jax.com, the driver, Julian Little, lost control of the Ford Mustang at around 6:30 p.m. on Sunday and hit a dirt embankment, flipped the car, and then continued to spin into a tree while on its roof.
Julian Little was flown to Shands Hospital in Gainesville, Florida. Three other passengers were riding along with Little in the Ford Mustang and two of them were pronounced dead at the scene. A third passenger, Joseph Grant, 6, was critically injured and taken to Shands as well. The other two passengers were 10-year-old Ronnie Bias and 26-year-old Jennifer Ann Grant that did not make it out of the car.
All of the victims were Lake City locals. Florida Highway Patrol says that nobody was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash. If this were a mother-teaches-son-to-drive incident, wouldn't a seatbelt be the very first lesson?
This wreck remains under investigation and there are pending charges as it should until they get to the bottom of it.
When are you allowed to get your restricter's license? 15? They need to figure out why a 14-year-old was allowed to drive a Ford Mustang when there was an older adult in the car as well, along with some much younger passengers. Whether six-cylinder or not, it's a rear-wheel-drive car that has a little punch behind it and sometimes get a little "squirrelly" if the roads are the least bit wet.
