Children driving stolen ride-share car crash, killing 13-year-old New England boy, police say

A 13-year-old boy was killed and a 14-year-old girl was seriously hurt in a crash involving a car that was reported stolen in New Hampshire early Wednesday morning.

The crash happened in Bedford at around 1:50 a.m. at the on-ramp of Route 101, according to the Bedford Police Department.

The car involved in the crash, a 2014 Toyota Corolla, had rolled over after it exited the on-ramp onto Kilton Road, police said.

Both the 13-year-old boy and 14-year-old girl were ejected from the car. The children were the only people in the car at the time of the crash, the department said.

The boy, who was from Manchester, New Hampshire, was brought to a local hospital and later pronounced dead. The girl — also from Manchester — was brought to a nearby hospital with serious injuries.

A preliminary investigation into the crash showed neither child had been wearing seatbelts, and the Toyota Corolla was reported stolen earlier from a ride-share and delivery driver in Manchester, police said.

The investigation into the crash is ongoing by the Bedford Police Department. The crash caused the on and off ramps to be closed for a period of time until Wednesday morning.
