13-Year-Old NorCal Boy Getting Driving Lesson From Dad Crashes, Dies
WOODLAND (CBS/AP) -- The California Highway Patrol says a 13-year-old boy receiving a driving lesson from his father was killed when the vehicle struck a drainage ditch.
The crash on Friday night near Woodland also left the 46-year-old father with major injuries. Woodland is about 15 miles northwest of Sacramento.
The CHP says the boy was traveling around 55 mph when he drifted off a county road. He steered sharply to the left twice -- the second time after his father steered to the right -- and crashed. The vehicle flipped over and came to rest on its roof.
The CHP says both father and son were wearing seatbelts, and alcohol was not a factor in the crash.
