I know these people and none of them should have never been behind the wheel of this vehical. The 17 year old has no license,no insurance and the car does not belong to any of them.The two that was airlifted was a 15 year old boy and a 19 year old girl who was 4 months pregnant.Those two are fighting for their lives.Someone needs to be charged because there were 7 people in this car so you know that they did not have enough seat belts.Only the driver,passenger and the one child was buckled in.The 17 & 15 year old was the driver going to Georgia back to Kentucky.These kids had been reported in Ky. for driving with no license & ins. and nothing was done now look 2 people are fighting for there life.
