The boy "was driving too fast to control his vehicle...lost control, crossed the double yellow line, and crashed into brush on the opposite side of the street," police said.
The boy's father used a truck to pull his son's car out of the brush, police added.
They said the teen will be cited for an alleged violation of the vehicle code, "Driving on right side of roadway."
