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.

The female Judge commented that his speed was like a NASCAR driver, and that he has a pattern of impulsive behavior.

The prosecutor is worried the punk is a flight risk (no doubt because of parent’s money?) and asks for $1 million bail.

Judge sets bail at $100k (so $10k bond - less than the price of one of the three cars he’s totaled in the last 11 months.)

While the wonderful and faithful families of those killed say that they forgive him, the also want justice.

I’m guessing they will never see this punk in court as he will flee the country.

The liberal judge will declare “You can’t blame me. I told him he had to stay home and wear the ankle monitor. He didn’t.”
