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, when 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’s 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 is 40 mph, authorities alleged.
He was also seen weaving in and out of traffic leading up to the deadly incident, according to the police report that cited witnesses.
The teen bought the Audi a month ago after totaling two other vehicles in less than a year in wrecks caused by speeding, King County prosecutors said, according to mynorthwest.com.
Jones was charged with four counts of vehicular homicide, two counts of vehicular assault and reckless driving, Fox 13 reported.

so sad for the mom and the kids, but a low blow to attack the kid for maybe being rich.
Any kid from any background could of been driving fast, I don’t think that is limited to only rich kids.
Just a case of white liberal affluenza.
Wow
I just saw a picture of the minivan
He has a history. Life in prison at the minimum.
Buster Brown. Like damn. Those cute shoes were what my mom bought us way back in the last century. Way back.
No way the kid earned the money.
Whoever/whatever paid for the vehicle is complicit.
They should never have let him have more than a moped.
Would it be better if he were born a poor black child?
Could have. It’s could have not of
What does pics of the victims but no pic of the perp mean?
Or a pen filled with Wu's pigs.
Looks like he’ll go for a couple packs of smokes in the state pen.
About every other episode of the true crime show iCrime has a video of one or two reckless drivers going 90 mph or more on regular city streets. Always “Although police didn’t catch the driver he could end up being charged”.
String the bastard up. He doesn’t deserve to continue living.
Eighteen, two wrecks in a year, and he managed to get an Audi and never changed his ways. Was he driving without a license? Insurance must have been to the moon and beyond. Can’t believe anyone would let him have keys.
A poor mother and her innocent children and charges paid with their lives for that madman’s hellride. Rotting in prison is too expensive for us and too good for him.
Just watch...this moron’s shyster lawyer will claim that the Audi experienced unintended acceleration, a revival of the debunked 1980s 60 Minutes scam.
RE: The teen bought the Audi a month ago after totaling two other vehicles.
Doesn’t that make society and the pseudo justice system at fault?
Judge: This is the second time you’ve been before my bench. I’m letting you go again without charges but I trust you to shape up and take it easy. Case dismissed.
Those who know their daddy will always buy them a new one when they wreck it will drive recklessly, until they kill some people.
