Two Missouri brothers, ages 6 and 7, died in a crash on Friday after taking their grandparents’ car. The car, which was being driven by the seven-year-old, crashed and caught fire after being driven through a field and then onto a country road in an unincorporated area east of Kansas City.
Sgt. Andy Bell, a spokesperson for the Missouri Highway Patrol, said the 2007 Buick LaCrosse belonged to the boys’ grandparents.
Photos shared on Twitter by Sheriff Darryl Forte show numerous emergency response vehicles and officials at the scene of the crash.
