2 Dead, 8 Injured After Minivan Carrying Teens Crashes Near Stockton
STOCKTON (CBS/AP) -- Two people were killed and eight others injured after a minivan filled with 10 teenagers lost control on a San Joaquin Delta road near Stockton.
The California Highway Patrol says the 2006 Toyota Sienna veered off Eight Mile Road west of Stockton around at 3:45 p.m. Friday and plunged 10 feet into White Slough where it landed on its roof.
A boy died at the scene and a girl died after being taken to the hospital. Eight others were taken to the hospital, with some suffering from hypothermia after being in the water.
The CHP said the teens ranged from 13 to 17 years old and several of the passengers were not wearing seat belts.
Investigators said the 17-year-old driver did not have a license; they don't believe alcohol was a factor in the crash.
