A 15-year-old teenager caused a devastating collision in the United States on September 3, 2023, resulting in the deaths of a woman and her three grandchildren. The incident occurred when the teen, driving at high speed through a red light, crashed into a vehicle operated by 50-year-old Trinidad Hernandez. Her husband, a nine-year-old boy, an 11-year-old girl, and a one-year-old girl were also in the car. All four victims perished, while Hernandez’s husband survived with serious injuries.
The teenager’s father was later found guilty of allowing his underage son to operate a vehicle without a valid license. A Florida jury sentenced him to a potential 37 years to life in prison for his role in the tragedy. The case highlights the consequences of reckless decisions and negligence in safeguarding public safety.
