Mass. Woman Reportedly Killed In Crash With 15-Year-Old Driver In Fla.

BOSTON (CBS) - A 77-year-old Billerica, Massachusetts woman was killed in a car crash with a 15-year-old driver in Florida, according to a report.

The Pensacola News Journal reported that Margaret Catyb was in Navarre, Florida to see her grandson graduate from High School.

On Thursday night, a 15-year-old driver in a Dodge Durango S.U.V. pulled out into the path of the car Catyb was riding in.

Police say Catyb's car hit the Durango, caught fire, and spun into the path of an oncoming car.
The 15-year-old along with Catyb's son, who was driving her, both suffered minor injuries.

Catyb, who was wearing a seatbelt, died at the hospital.

The 15-year-old, who had her driving learner's permit, may face charges for violating the rules of her permit, because she did not have an adult in the car with her at the time.
