The mother of a teenager learning how to drive was killed in a car accident, Thursday, when their SUV crashed into a ditch.

The boy's stepfather was in the front passenger seat giving the boy driving instructions, while the mother and her baby were in the back.

All the occupants were wearing seatbelts and the infant was in a car seat at the time of the crash.

According to a California Highway Patrol Officer, the stepfather had told the teen to "turn left here," and the boy jerked the wheel causing the vehicle to plummet into a ditch. The vehicle was traveling 50 mph.

The mother was transported by helicopter to a hospital in Chico, where she was pronounced dead. The infant was injured and the stepfather suffered a fractured collarbone. The teenager had cuts to his hand but was otherwise okay.
