A pair of 13-year-old girls — runaways from Texas — crashed their car into a tree in Louisiana before dawn Tuesday, the Natchitoches Parish Sheriff’s Office said.
Authorities said the sheriff’s office, Louisiana State Police, and emergency medical services jumped into action around 5 a.m. after a report of a single-vehicle crash on US-71 near the Natchitoches-Winn Parish line.
‘They should definitely be grounded,’ one commenter deadpanned.
Deputies arrived on scene and found the two girls; one of them suffered minor non-life-threatening injuries, authorities said.

Deputies said the 13-year-old driver — hailing from the city of Atlanta, which is in the northwestern part of Texas, just a few miles from the Arkansas border — was operating a Chevrolet passenger car traveling southbound on US-71 when she apparently fell asleep.
