Driver, 18, Going 112 Mph Kills Mother and 3 Kids After T-Boning Minivan
An 18-year-old motorist is facing homicide charges for the deaths of a Washington state mother and three of the kids she was ushering around after he allegedly drove his Audi A4 more than 100 miles per hour into their minivan, prosecutors said.
Chase Daniel Jones is accused of killing the 38-year-old mom, Andrea Hudson, as well as Boyd Buster Brown, 12, and sisters Matilda Wilcoxson, 13, and Eloise Wilcoxson, 12 after he barreled into their vehicle, pushing it into another two cars on the road, officials said.
Two of Hudson’s children who were also in the minivan were hospitalized and remain in intensive care.
Jones — who was badly injured — allegedly blew through a red light at an intersection where the crash happened on Tuesday in the community of Fairwood, a King County sheriff official said in a police report obtained by the Seattle Times.
Jones was driving as fast as 112 mph with no signs of braking on a road where the speed limit was 40 mph, authorities alleged. (Read more from “Driver, 18, Going 112 Mph Kills Mother and 3 Kids After T-Boning Minivan” HERE)
