That's what is left of a Ford Taurus.
Tyron Lamb was behind the wheel. The car he was driving hit a curb and then a tree The impact was so great it shook a neighbor's home.
"I don't know where they were going. It was so early in the morning, it was like 6:30 in the morning," neighbor Jasmine Wright said.

Police say he is 15-years-old while his cousin says he is 16-years-old but did not have a driver's license. The crash happened at a very high rate of speed and it happened just 3 doors down from where the young driver lived near East Warren and McClellan Street on Detroit's east side.
