真是害人害己，自己也死了，这小孩父母也应该定罪坐牢 13-Year-Old Was Driving Pickup That Struck Van Killing 9, NTSB Says One must be 14 in Texas to start taking courses for a learner’s license and 15 to receive that provisional license to drive with an instructor or licensed adult in the vehicle. Mar. 17, 2022, 04:25 PM EDT | Updated 2 hours ago Texas Department of Public Safety Troopers look over the scene of a fatal car wreck early Wednesday. HOBBS, N.M. (AP) — The investigation into this week’s fiery head-on crash in West Texas now focuses on the revelation that a 13-year-old was driving the pickup truck that struck a van, killing nine people, including six members of a college golf team and their coach. The young teen, who is still unidentified, and a man traveling in the truck also died. National Transportation Safety Board Vice Chairman Bruce Landsberg on Thursday revealed the truck was driven by the child. He said the truck’s left front tire, which was a spare tire, blew out before impact. The pickup truck crossed into the opposite lane on the darkened, two-lane highway before colliding head-on with the van. Both vehicles burst into flames. Although it was unclear how fast the two vehicles were traveling, “this was clearly a high-speed collision,” Landsberg said. Landsberg said investigators hoped to retrieve enough information from the vehicle’s recorders, if they survived, to understand what happened. He said many in the van were not wearing seatbelts and at least one was ejected from the vehicle. It’s not unusual for young teens to drive in that region and other more rural parts of the United States. But “that was dumb” for a 13-year-old to be driving on a busy two-lane roadway used by oil traffic, said Gib Stevens, who leads area trucking operations for an oilfield servicing company. One must be 14 in Texas to start taking classroom courses for a learner’s license and 15 to receive that provisional license to drive with an instructor or licensed adult in the vehicle. Department of Public Safety Sgt. Victor Taylor said a 13-year-old driving would be breaking the law. The pickup truck crossed into the opposite lane on a darkened, two-lane highway before colliding head-on with a van, killing the boy, a man traveling with him, six New Mexico college students and a golf coach. The University of the Southwest students, including one from Portugal and one from Mexico, and the coach were returning from a golf tournament when the vehicles collided Tuesday night. Two Canadian students were hospitalized in critical condition. The NTSB sent an investigative team to the crash site in Texas’ Andrews County, about 30 miles (50 kilometers) east of the New Mexico state line. University of the Southwest spokeswoman Maria Duarte declined to comment on the NTSB’s announcement about the young driver, citing the ongoing investigation. The private Christian college is located in Hobbs, New Mexico, near the Texas state line. The golf teams were traveling in a 2017 Ford Transit van that was towing a box trailer when it collided with the 2007 Dodge 2500 pickup, according to NTSB spokesperson Eric Weiss. The speed limit at the crash site is 75 mph (120 kph), he said. The Texas Department of Public Safety identified the deceased as: Golf coach Tyler James, 26, of Hobbs, New Mexico; and players Mauricio Sanchez, 19, of Mexico; Travis Garcia, 19, of Pleasanton, Texas; Jackson Zinn, 22, of Westminster, Colorado; Karisa Raines, 21, of Fort Stockton, Texas; Laci Stone, 18, of Nocona, Texas; and Tiago Sousa, 18, of Portugal. Also killed were Henrich Siemens, 38, of Seminole County, Texas, and the 13-year-old boy who were truck. A memorial was set up Wednesday at the golf course near campus where the team practices, with flowers, golf balls and a handmade sign. The teams had been taking part in a golf tournament at Midland College, about 315 miles (505 kilometers) west of Dallas.
虽然这车祸的直接原因很可能是小孩开的2007年“道济”皮卡轮胎出了问题， 越过中线高速和对向而行的高尔夫球队坐的 van 迎头相撞，但是一个13岁小孩遇到紧急情况 有多少掌控能力 这方面老中家庭还是很小心的，17,8岁小孩刚拿到驾照的也就是开开 local 从家到学校。 让这么大的没什么经验的新司机小孩在高速上狂开那真叫不负责任

大概率他爹或者妈坐在passenger seat上，德州民风彪悍啊。 “The pickup truck crossed into the opposite lane on a darkened, two-lane highway before colliding head-on with a van, killing the boy, a man traveling with him”

这方面老中家庭还是很小心的，17,8岁小孩刚拿到驾照的也就是开开 local 从家到学校。 让这么大的没什么经验的新司机小孩在高速上狂开那真叫不负责任
13岁在哪儿都拿不到驾照吧。叫“新司机”都不太合适，大概率就是偷了爹妈的车开出来。
大概率他爹或者妈坐在passenger seat上，德州民风彪悍啊。 “The pickup truck crossed into the opposite lane on a darkened, two-lane highway before colliding head-on with a van, killing the boy, a man traveling with him”
肯定不是偷开的啊。看新闻最后，皮卡里还死了一个叫Henrich Siemens的38岁男子，这个应该是亲爹副驾吧？ 所以应该是在教13岁的儿子没到年龄就开车？
这家很奇葩的，之前房子着火烧了，然后这次父亲让未满法定驾驶年龄的孩子高速行驶用着备用胎的车，真是自作孽。。。只是可惜了对面车上的无辜乘客们，大多数还是在校的大学生，风华正茂的年纪，父母们该伤心了。。。
天呐，这都什么事儿啊 这van里的孩子们和coach也真是飞来横祸😭😭😭 为啥这些天全是这些伤心的新闻啊
没看到最后，是我错了。 好像这事儿当地还不罕见。。。我也被shock了
十多年前我两个前同事，也是在德州，开皮卡在公路上爆胎失控，越过中线和对面车道翻滚到路边空地。所幸是大农村，路上没其他人，两个人竟然都没有事。司机是新手。
这对父子真是死不足惜！就是可惜死的不是时候，牵扯的无辜人太多！确定这对父子不是蓄意谋杀，顺便自杀吗？？？
对面车里无辜死去的孩子们太让人心痛了，都是18、19的的年纪啊。父母得多伤心啊。
黑人喜欢扎堆大中城市 shithole 区；
住在这种南方乡村地方的基本都是红脖
白的，西德州黑人罕见，网上有照片，挺阳光一个小孩。
都是命。每天开车，黄线对面的车呼啸而过，如果对面哪个司机分心了，酒驾了，吸毒了，方向盘一歪，越线撞过来了，躲都来不及反应。
