A 15-year-old girl learning how to drive hit two men in a Philadelphia shopping center parking lot, killing both, police said.
The incident happened Monday night while the teenager was driving with her mother and two others in an SUV. Police said while the student was pulling into a parking spot, the SUV lunged forward, striking two men who were sitting at the wall of a store. The unidentified victims, both in their 50s, were pronounced dead at the scene. No charges have been filed, but the accident is under investigation, The Associated Press reports.
