Family has identified Cesar Ortiz as the teenager killed in a rollover crash on Tuesday afternoon.
Bakersfield Police say 17-year-old Ortiz was killed after he and another 17-year-old passenger were ejected from a car driven by a 14-year-old.
Family confirmed to 23ABC that the 14-year-old driver was Ortiz' girlfriend and the mother of his 6-month-old son.
BPD says they responded to the 3300 block of Morning drive around 3:45 P.M. Tuesday and discovered a single-car rollover crash. They say the car appeared to have left the roadway before flipping; ejecting two passengers.
All three teens were taken to the hospital, BPD says. Ortiz was pronounced dead, and the other, along with the driver, were treated for moderate to minor injuries.
Ortiz' family says they will not be pressing charges on the driver.
BPD says the cause of the crash is still under investigation, and at this time no arrests have been made.
BPD says they will submit their investigation to the District Attorney's office and it will ultimately be up to them to file charges against the driver.
