After originally releasing that a 13-year-old boy was driving a pickup truck responsible for a Texas crash that killed six University of Southwest golfers and the coach back in March, investigators with the National Transportation Safety Board made a shocking announcement on Thursday — that the boy’s 38-year-old father was driving the truck and he had methamphetamine in his system.
According to an Associated Press story Thursday, the NTSB said that DNA testing confirmed that the father, Henrich Siemens, was driving and that toxicological testing showed the presence of methamphetamine in Siemens’ blood.
The van was carrying school’s team back from a golf tournament. The University of the Southwest is a private Christian university located in Hobbs, New Mexico. Teams were competing at the TankLogix Collegiate at Ranchland Hills Golf Club in Midland, Texas.
