A
13-year-old boy
was driving the pickup truck that collided with a
vehicle
carrying
members of a college golf
team in West Texas, killing nine people, authorities said Thursday.
Six members of the New Mexico-based Southwestern University golf team died Tuesday night along with their coach, according to police.
The 13-year-old and his 38-year-old father, who were in the truck, were also killed in the crash near Andrews, Texas.
According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, the Dodge 2500 pickup truck
veered into the oncoming lane
and collided head-on with the transport vehicle, later setting both cars on fire.
The vice president of the National Transportation Safety Board, Bruce Landsberg, was quoted by the KWES TV network in
Odessa
,
Texas
, stating that the young man was behind the wheel at the time of the accident.
At age 13,
you are not legally authorized to drive in Texas
.
A resident of that state must be
15 years old
to have a learner's permit, which allows you to drive a vehicle in the company of a licensed adult 21 or older.
Landsberg also said the truck's left front tire appears to have blown out before the crash, which occurred with both vehicles traveling at high speeds.
Two Southwestern University students, both Canadians, are in critical condition in hospital.
