“My babies could have been here today. My mom could have been here today. What the heck are you in such a rush for?” Hernandez said.

Troopers said they are investigating how the 15-year-old was able to get ahold of the vehicle involved in the crash in the first place. Those findings could lead to not only the teen facing charges but their parents as well.

“If the relationship of that registered owner to that kid is a parent or something like that, there could be potential charges. Depending on if that parent knew the child was driving that car,” Trooper Migdalisis Garcia said.
