14-Year-Old Boy Dies in Stolen Truck Crash on Highway 63 [Visalia, CA]

Visalia, CA (July 22, 2022) – On Friday morning, a 14-year-old male passenger loses his life in a stolen truck crash on Highway 63.

The authorities received the crash report at about 8 a.m. north of Marlin Avenue.

According to the police, a 15-year-old boy was driving a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado on the highway. Apparently, the vehicle was stolen in Dinuba.

Officers say that the teen driver drifted onto the freeway shoulder and made a sharp turn to the left. The vehicle drove into the northbound lane colliding head-on with a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. Both of the vehicles then crashed into a parked 2014 Kenworth.

A 14-year-old boy who was in the rear passenger seat of the Silverado wasn’t wearing a seatbelt at the time of the collision. Sadly, he died at the scene.

Moreover, the paramedics rushed the 15-year-old Silverado driver, a 14-year-old girl passenger, and the Traverse driver to a hospital with major injuries.

Officers say alcohol and drugs did not play a role in the incident. However, they are still investigating the cause of the vehicle collision in Visalia.
