Chase Jones, 19, was sentenced to 210 months in prison, which equals 17.5 years. Jones pleaded guilty to four charges of vehicular homicide and two charges of vehicular assault for a deadly crash on March 19, 2024. Jones was driving his new Audi A4 at over 100 mph when he barreled through a red light and crashed into a van driven by Andrea Hudson.

Hudson, 38, was driving a carpool and was one of three people instantly killed in the crash. Boyd “Buster” Brown, 12, Matilda “Tilly” Wilcoxson, 13, and Eloise “Lu” Wilcoxson, 12, were also in the van and declared dead at the scene. Hudson’s children, ages 14 and 11, were also in the car and survived the crash with serious injuries.

Hudson was crossing the intersection on a green light when her van was hit by Jones’ vehicle with an impact so strong it compressed the passenger compartment of the car approximately three feet. Firefighters had to cut the roof off the van to recover the victims. Data extracted from the Audi revealed that it had been traveling 111-113 mph in the moments before the crash and the brake pedal was never touched.

Prosecutors said that Jones had just gotten the A4 one month before the crash, after totaling two other cars in crashes where he was also accused of speeding.

Did this child of privilege still have a driver's licence? Who bought him 3 new cars to wreck?

110+ mph on a street with stoplights? WTAF!

In their own letter, Jones’ parents, Daniel and Kimberly Jones, apologized to the victims’ families, saying they had spent the last year reflecting on “where (they) went wrong.”

“If we could take their places, we would not hesitate,” Barshis read from their letter. “We have grieved for your losses nonstop and will continue for the rest of our days.”
