[quote:4c946]WEST SEATTLE - A 17-year-old girl who was likely just days away from getting her driver's license now might have to wait until she's old enough to collect Social Security before her parents let her get behind the wheel again.

Seattle police say the girl and her 15-year-old boyfriend took her family's new Ford Explorer that her dad just bought for her to celebrate her upcoming driver's license test and decided to go for a spin around West Seattle.

Unfortunately, police say her premature celebration involved speeding down 14th Avenue Southwest at speeds witnesses estimated at 80 mph when she crashed into a car at the uncontrolled intersection of SW Barton Street and 14th Avenue Southwest. Even worse? That car was a Seattle Police cruiser.

The girl's Explorer deflected into a nearby front yard and ended up on its side in the front yard.

The girl and her boyfriend were not seriously hurt but they were taken to the hospital to be checked out. The police officer was not injured.

No word yet on any possible charges, but the girl will likely face citations for driving without a license.[/quote:4c946]
