NOT a good story to read... My heart goes out to all involved by this tragedy.
3 teens lost their lives in this horrible accident and many many family members lives are now changed forever.
One of the drivers was 15... Is that legal in MN?
If it is, that needs to be changed. I don't even think 16 is acceptable these days.

That's true, but I wonder if wearing seatbelts might have saved at least one of them. Sad story.

The poor parents were at the school watching the prom procession and wondered why they didn't see their own kid in the procession.....

Two teenagers on their way to the dance Saturday night - including Fosston student Michael Hove, 16 - and another teen died in the head-on collision.
Polk County authorities planned to release more details Monday afternoon. Hove and Setum were in a northbound Chevrolet Corvette, which he had borrowed for the prom, and Steinmetz was the lone occupant of a southbound Jeep Cherokee.
I just hate to blame the kid in the vette before we know all the facts.
Very Sad for all the parents involved and I am sure for all the friends too.

I agree with what others have said - even 16 may be too young to be driving in today's world.

Front-page news here, of course. I just keep thinking, who would lend a 16 year-old their Corvette on prom night? What was he/she thinking? Big horsepower, unfamiliar/inexperienced driver, at night . . . .
And by the way 15 year olds can legally drive in Minn with a "farm license", that basically allows them to drive when involved with farm work -- which the boy in the other vehicle apparently was.
