HOUSTON -- A 12-year-old boy was hurt when his sister crashed a car into their northwest Harris County home, KPRC Local 2 reported.
The 16-year-old girl's mother was teaching her how to drive on Wellington Meadows Drive near Billneys Park Drive at about 12:30 p.m.
Cypress Fairbanks volunteer firefighters said the girl was pulling into the garage when she accidentally hit the gas instead of the brake.
The car went into the house and the 12-year-old was pinned underneath.
"It took 30 minutes to get the child out from underneath the car safely," said Karl Pflughaupt with the Cy-Fair Volunteer Fire Department.
The boy was taken by helicopter to Memorial Hermann Hospital with third-degree burns.
Two other children suffered minor injuries.
