That is possible. Is there insurance on the car?
Minor drivers' parents often have to sign something indicating the minor has permission to drive and this could be a way to expand liability. If the driver did not have permission to use the car and the owner did not have knowledge of on-going use, then there may be a way to avoid liability. Talk to your insurance company.
