Driving too fast on gravel, phone (?), teenagers. not a great combination. Oh well, what about Drumpf?
i’m the other teen in the crash. we’re morning a loss and your criticism is not very appreciated. thanks.
Teen driving needs to.be more regulated. Under 18 should not have friends in the car or any other unnecessary distractions. My heart goes out to the family. I offer my since condolences.
