Facing the Consequences –

One careless move behind the wheel of an automobile can have very serious consequences. In many cases, a car crash that results in serious injuries or the loss of life can send a driver to prison, even if it was just an accident.

For Stephen Bromstrup, a newly licensed driver in Florida, the consequences of causing a crash that killed two innocent teenagers included a seven-year prison sentence.

Stephen was showing off to friends by driving his car at an excessive rate of speed. He lost control of the car and slammed into another car killing two young girls and seriously injuring another. His friends were also injured in the collision. He was 16 at the time of the crash.

Fatal crashes like the one described above kill more than 4,000 US teens every year. Many of the drivers are serving prison sentences similar to the one being served by Stephen Bromstrup - Link:
