Colorado State Patrol: 13-year-old girl who took parents' car caused major crash involving school bus
An underage driver who took her parents' SUV was responsible for a major car wreck on Friday in which several people were hurt. That's according to Colorado State Patrol, who investigated the crash at Highway 287 and Lookout Road in eastern Boulder County.
CSP's initial investigation indicated that the parents of the 13-year-old girl weren't aware that she had taken their Chevy Suburban.
That SUV was heavily damaged, along with two other vehicles and a school bus. One student was on board the bus at the time but wasn't hurt.
Authorities said the girl will be cited, but they said it isn't expected that she will be jailed.
The people who were injured were all taken to the hospital. None of the injuries were described as being serious.
So far it's not clear how far the 13-year-old traveled in the SUV before the crash happened.
