An unlicensed 15-year-old, driving a white 2001 Lexus, was speeding southbound on Ida Street in Marquez on July 3, in the middle of the day. When the Palisades youth attempted to turn left onto Bollinger Drive, he lost control of his vehicle and proceeded to crash into at least three parked cars. The Lexus, which sustained major damage, caused major damage to a 1999 Dodge Ram (photo), moderate damage to a 1999 Toyota 4-Runner, and minor damage to a 2005 Toyota Corolla and a 2008 Chevy Cobalt. The male driver and his 14-year-old passenger were unhurt. Since the driver didn’t have a provisional license, police will file charges for driving without a license, which means the driver will be unable to get a license when he is eligible. A reader who witnessed the aftermath of the crash wrote, ‘I’m sick of these kids screaming around our town and nothing ever seems to happen to make them stop. What in the world can we do to stop it?’
