A 15-year-old boy took his father's car and crashed it, killing three people and injuring another, Bulgarian television channel bTV said on August 26 2010.

The fatal accident occurred between the villages of Aleko Konstantinovo and Tsruncha, in Pazardjik municipality, in southern Bulgaria.

Reportedly, the boy took his father's BMW without permission and invited some of his friends along for a ride. He lost control of the car while driving at high speed, swerved off the road and collided with two trees before the mangled car overturned and finally stopped moving.

In the aftermath, the driver, as well as another 15-year-old boy and a 19-year-old, all died. The only survivor of the horrific accident was a 21-year-old man.

The survivor was briefly hospitalised in the multi-profile hospital in Pazardjik and eventually released, the report said.

Both 15-year-old boys were from the village of Aleko Konstantinovo, while the other victim was from the town of Pazardjik.
