A teenaged girl has been charged with homicide for allegedly driving a car into a tree, killing one of the three underage friends who were riding with her.
Almani Creamer was the 12-year-old boy who died
when the car allegedly collided at a high speed with a
tree, the Chicago Tribune reported. The car's three
other occupants, including the driver, were injured but
survived the accident on the day before Thanksgiving.
The girl, whose name is being withheld because of her
age, has been accused of reckless homicide, reckless
conduct and possessing a stolen motor vehicle. She
was arraigned on Thursday and released into her
mother's custody.
The minimum age for driving in Illinois is 16. No one in
the car reached the legal age for driving, NBC Chicago
reported.
Creamer's mother, Regina Anderson, told nurses that
her son was in the car's backseat and was wearing a
buckle.
He was supposed to remain home that day, his mother
said, because he had been grounded.
