Dan Fouracre was living life like a 22 year old should. He was out with friends and heading home in a car driven by his girlfriend.

How were they to know a 14 year old Tacony boy stole his mom's car and exited I-95 with no lights on?

Fouracre was pronounced dead at the scene and his girlfriend injured. Another car had been hit as well.

They're charging this kid with murder if I heard correctly on the news.

Prosecutor: Teen charged in joyride killing showed 'escalating violence'

Winston Charleston, the Tacony 14-year-old who killed a Bucks County man in June after taking his mother's car for a late-night joyride, had a history of "escalating violence," a prosecutor said during a Friday bail hearing.

"Yes, he's a kid," said Assistant District Attorney Beth McCaffery. "But he's an out-of-control kid, and now's he's killed someone."
 
This sort of thing happens quite often, unfortunately. Youth stealing parent's car and killing unsuspecting people.

It was only a short time ago here in San Diego, within the past month, that a young boy stole his mom's car and took friends on a joy-ride. He missed his turnoff, so stopped and backed up and killed a pedestrian. I tried to find a local article, but was unable to. They're most likely handling him as a juvenile.

Seems parents really need to be diligent when it comes to teenagers and car keys. :(
