In the United States, a 15-year-old teenager crashed into a vehicle carrying a woman and her three grandchildren, resulting in their deaths. The incident occurred on September 3, 2023, when the teenager, driving at high speed through a red light, struck a car driven by 50-year-old Trinidad Hernandez. Her husband and three grandchildren—a nine-year-old boy, an 11-year-old girl, and a one-year-old girl—were also in the vehicle. All five victims died instantly, while the grandfather sustained serious injuries but survived.
The teenager’s father was later convicted for allowing his underage son to operate a motor vehicle without proper authorization. A Florida jury sentenced him to a prison term ranging from 37 years to life. The case highlights concerns over juvenile driving and parental accountability in preventing such tragedies.
