SAN MATEO CO.: CHP: BOY HELD IN FATAL CRASH WAS VIOLATING LICENSE, SPEEDING
06/18/07 11:45 PDT
A 16-year-old San Francisco boy was violating his provisional driver's license and was speeding when he drove his parents' BMW into an oncoming car Sunday afternoon east of Daly City, killing an 87-year-old man and critically injuring the man's wife, a California Highway Patrol spokesman said this morning.
According to CHP Officer Shawn Chase, the boy had a 15-year-old male passenger in his parents' 2007 BMW and they were speeding along eastbound Guadalupe Canyon Parkway, just east of Price Street, at about 2 p.m. when the boy apparently lost control at a curve and spun into the oncoming lane.
The BMW collided head on with a Pontiac Grand Am carrying August Marinello, 87, and his wife. Marinello was killed in the crash and his wife, who is in her late 70s, was transported to San Francisco General Hospital with critical injuries.
As of this morning, the CHP had received no update on the woman's condition, Chase said.
According to Chase, the teen driver had a provisional driver's license, which requires a licensed driver at least 25 years old be in the vehicle with him.
Based on skid marks extended more than 100 feet over the roadway, the boy had been speeding "well above the posted 45 (mph speed limit) there," Chase said.
The boy, whose identity is not being released, was treated for minor injuries at the scene before being arrested on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter, Chase said. He is now being held at San Francisco's Youth Guidance Center and will likely face an upcoming court date in San Mateo County.
