The same day that five Idaho children died in a teen-driven car, a state Senate committee gave its blessing to a bill to restrict teen drivers, reports S-R reporter Parker Howell.

Teen drivers are far more likely to be involved in collisions than older drivers, research shows. Read Howell’s full story here in today’s Spokesman-Review.
