A New York man is facing the most serious charges in a crash that killed three Bucks County teenagers back in August. While officials say the man was not the one behind the wheel, he did appear in court on Tuesday.
The accident happened five months ago on Goosepond Road in Wayne County. Police say a 15-year-old girl was driving the SUV that crashed.
Three teenage boys from Bucks County were killed. Now her father, who allegedly gave her the keys, is heading to trial.
Marie Drobnicki has lived on the road for nearly 50 years and says she is still haunted by the sounds she heard that day.
"The boys were yelling 'slow down, slow down' that's when I turned," Drobnicki said. "That's when it happened."
After Drobnicki heard those sounds, the SUV rolled over and crashed. Police say there were six teenagers inside.
The man being charged in connection with the accident is 53-year-old Michael Ware.
Ware waived his right to a preliminary hearing at Wayne County Court.
According to statements given to police, Ware gave his 15-year-old daughter permission to drive his SUV on many occasions, even though she doesn't have a license or a permit.
According to documents, Ware let his daughter drive five friends to a local restaurant back in August.
The deadly crash, officials say, happened on the way home from that outing.
But Ware says he didn't even know his daughter took the keys that day. He's facing charges of involuntary man slaughter and recklessly endangering another person.
"We have a stack of discovery we are going to review and examine how strong or weak our case is," Ware's attorney, Robert Reno said.
Police say the 15-year-old driver will be facing criminal action. She is a minor, so those details are not being released
