WOODLAND, Wash. - The grief-stricken mother of a 12-year-old boy who died after crashing a car said Wednesday she is angry someone let her son drive.

Jake L. Fry, 12,  was critically injured and put on life support following the Monday crash in the Woodland area. The machines were disconnected overnight Tuesday and he died, according to his family.

Police said Kelley Hill, 34, the girlfriend of Jake Fry's father, was in the passenger seat of the car and Hill's 12-year-old daughter was in the back seat when the crashed occurred. Hill and her daughter were treated and released from a hospital after the wreck.

The crash took place when Jake Fry lost control of the car he was driving, a 1993 Ford Taurus, and struck an oncoming sport utility vehicle on North Pekin Road. 

Two people in the SUV, 55-year-old Donna Howell and 8-year-old Madelyn Howell, were treated and released from a local hospital.

Doctors gave Jake Fry about a 1 percent chance of pulling through. His family said the boy suffered a ruptured aorta and severe brain damage. He was declared brain dead Tuesday afternoon but was kept on life support until overnight Tuesday.

He was a seventh grader at Woodland Middle School, which was closed Wednesday because of bad weather. School officials said they plan to give students the chance to talk to counselors on Thursday.

Anyone with information about the crash is asked to call Deputy Brad Bauman at (360) 577-3092 or Crime Stoppers at (360) 577-1206.
