The vice chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board said Thursday that a 13-year-old boy was driving the pickup truck that slammed into the van in West Texas, killing nine people. The National Transportation Safety Board Vice Chairman said Thursday that a 13-year-old was driving the pickup truck that struck the van in West Texas and killed nine people. The spare tire on the left front of the truck blew out before the impact. It was clear that the two vehicles were traveling at a high rate of speed. To get a license to drive with an instructor or adult in the vehicle, one must be 14 years old in Texas and take classroom courses. A 13-year-old would be breaking the law if they drove. The pickup truck crossed into the opposite lane on a dark, two-lane highway before colliding head-on with a van, killing the boy, a man traveling with him, six New Mexico college students and a golf coach. The University of the Southwest students, including one from Portugal and one from Mexico, and the coach were returning from a golf tournament when the crash occurred Tuesday night. Two Canadian students were hospitalized. The National Transportation Safety Board sent an investigative team to the crash site in Texas, which is east of the New Mexico state line. The golf teams were traveling in a van that was towing a box trailer when it collided with a truck and both vehicles burst into flames, according to Eric Weiss. He said the vehicles collided on a two-lane asphalt highway where the speed limit is 75 mph (120 kph), though investigators have not yet determined how fast either vehicle was traveling. The Texas Department of Public Safety identified the dead as: golf coach Tyler James, 26, of Hobbs, New Mexico; and players Mauricio Sanchez, 19, of Mexico; and Karisa Raines, 21, of Fort Stockton. The unidentified 13-year-old boy who was in the Dodge 2500 pickup was also killed. Two Canadian students were critically injured in the van. The University Medical Center in Lubbock is about 120 miles from the northeast. The two injured students are both stable and recovering, according to the University of the Southwest's provost. One of the students is eating chicken soup, said Tipton, calling their recovery a game of inches.
