Clayton, N.C. — A wreck east of Clayton sent a 9-year-old boy and two teenagers to the hospital Friday morning, state troopers said.

A Chevrolet sedan was heading north on Thanksgiving Fire Road, and a blue minivan was going east on Jordan Narron Road shortly after 7 a.m. Troopers said the minivan's driver failed to yield at a stop sign, causing a T-bone collision with the Chevrolet.

Three occupants of the minivan sustained non-serious injuries. Two teenagers were taken to Johnston Medical Center-Smithfield, and a 9-year-old boy was transported to WakeMed in Raleigh.

It was not a teen driving. It was the mother of the 9 year old. She is a teacher at my daughter's school. The boy needs our prayers.

Yeah, that's a good idea. Raise the driving age.

...Then we'll just have a bunch of "irresponsible" adults driving.

I'd like to see some statistics on how many elderly people who's "gas pedals get jammed" that cause wrecks. Or soccer moms/dads talking their lives away on their cell phones that cause wrecks. Yet somehow, only teenagers are "irresponsible."

No where in the article does it say a teen was driving. Just two teens and a 9 year old was injured. Maybe mom was taking the teens and the 9 year old to school.
