“I was addicted to speed,” 18-year-old Chase Jones told the Judge at his sentencing. He pled guilty to Four counts of vehicular homicide for the deaths of 38-year-old Andrea S. Hudson, 12-year-old Boyd "Buster" Brown, 13-year-old Matilda Wilcoxson, and 12-year-old Eloise Wilcoxson.
Jones was also charged with Two counts of vehicular assault for the injuries to Hudson’s children, Nolan and Charlotte.
The crash happened in a community outside Seattle. Police say Jones was weaving in and out of traffic and reached speeds of up 112 mph when ran a red light and collided with Andrea Hudson's minivan, killing her and three children, and injuring two other children.
For his crimes, a judge sentenced Chase Jones to 17 and a half years.
The families shared the heartbreak and grief they will experience the rest of their lives, at his sentencing. Birthdays, weddings, graduations, and other moments of joy and happiness they will never have changed their lives forever.
