    A waking nightmare -- for two West Coast families

    A waking nightmare -- for two West Coast families


    Teen Simon Norris died on Saturday night when he took a car on a joy ride with a friend ,and crashed down a bank -- breaking his friend's ribs.

    The 14-year-old's father, Ch'e Norris, says Simon was staying at his friend's house that night.

    He says the first he and his wife knew something was wrong, was when police and their reverend showed up at their door -- and asked them to sit down.
