PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (WSVN) — Police said two men died after a teen learning to drive struck them in a Philadelphia shopping center parking lot.
Fox 29 reports the 15-year-old girl was learning how to drive in a Ford Explorer around 9 p.m. Monday while under the supervision of a parent.
“She was navigating into a parking spot and made a mistake. The vehicle lunged forward, striking two men who were seated at the wall of the dollar store,” Philadelphia Police Capt. Mark Overwise told WPVI.
