20-Year Old Dodge Charger Street Racer Gets 30 Years For Fatal Crash | Carscoops carscoops
is exciting, addictive, unarguably stupid, and selfish. When it goes seriously wrong it doesn’t just leave a trail of wrecked cars, but wrecked lives, too.
Now a 20-year-old man from Tulsa has plenty of time to reflect on that: 30 years, to be exact. That was the sentence handed down todriver Miguel Romero for causing the death of an innocent woman caught up in a fatal street race in October 2021. Romero, who was just 18 years old at the time of the accident, was racing another car at around 2 A.M. when he flew through a red light and crashed into adriven by 28-year-old Audreaunna Williams. Williams and her passenger were both ejected from the Jeep due to the force of the crash, which caused the Grand Cherokee to burst into flames, killing the driver and leaving her passenger with serious injuries that required hospital treatment.
No sentence available to the judge could ever bring Williams back to her family, but he certainly didn’t sidestep an opportunity to send a message to both Romero and anyone else who enjoys racing on the street. He handed driver 20 years in prison for manslaughter and a further 10 for the DUI conviction, and those sentences will run consecutively, meaning Romero was sent down for 30 years.By the time he gets out, he’ll be middle-aged and cars might well be engineered with speed limiters, GPS locators, and alcohol detectors that could prevent this kind of tragedy. Sadly for Williams and her family, it will all arrive too late.
