Car Wreck Kills two at Home

HOUSTON -- Police say a 49-year-old man returning home with his new driver's license mistakenly hit the accelerator and crashed through the garage, killing his wife and mother-in-law.

The Houston Chronicle reported that a 6-year-old boy was hospitalized in serious condition with internal injuries after Friday's crash.

Houston police spokeswoman Jodi Silva says the women were pinned against the back wall of the garage. A Houston police officer living in the house heard the crash and backed up the car to free the women. His CPR attempts were unsuccessful.

Police gave the women's ages as 66 and 41. No names were released.

Silva says the driver is a recent Vietnamese immigrant and was with his father-in-law, the father and husband of the victims.
