13-year-olds crash stolen vehicle into driver leaving church in Robbins, killing him.

A group of 13-year-old boys crashed a stolen Kia into a Taurus driven by a 71-year-old driver, killing him as he exited a church parking lot, Illinois State police have said.

An officer with the Robbins Police Department spotted the stolen vehicle, a Kia with a busted driver side window, at about 2:30 p.m. Feb. 12, the department told Channel 32.

Moments later, the officer started to follow but noticed smoke rising up from a few blocks ahead. The Kia had slammed into a Ford Taurus leaving the parking lot of St. Peter Claver Mission Church, as reported by WLS-7.

First responders found the Taurus badly damaged in a ditch, while the Kia hit a tree. The driver of the Taurus was removed from the wreckage and taken to a hospital where he died, police said.

“The guy was coming out of his parking lot down there, and they hit him. And he spun out three or four times,” a witness told WBBM-2.

Police arrested the teens at the scene and officials have not yet announced any charges.
