The high-speed crash in Maryland killed a Sherwood High student and left another severely injured.
At a memorial shortly after a fatal Labor Day weekend 2014 crash in Olney, Md., Dalton Sanchez is comforted by Austyn Waldron. Shawn Gangloff, 15, was ejected from a car that had been going 119 mph and later died from his injuries. The driver, Austin Donovan Hall, now 18, who had a blood-alcohol level of 0.11, was sentenced to 18 months in jail.
Hall pleaded guilty in July to a charge of vehicular manslaughter in Gangloff’s death and a charge of causing a life-threatening injury while driving impaired by alcohol, in connection with Dechter’s injuries. Hall’s lawyer said at the time that the teenager wanted to take responsibility for his actions.Prosecutors said in court papers that Hall was “heavily intoxicated” — with a blood-alcohol level of 0.11, which exceeded the 0.
“Every day we wake up and realize that our Shawn is gone,” she said, describing reminders that trigger waves of grief: the sight of another lacrosse player, Shawn’s bedroom, the school where she works and he attended classes as a child. “I will never have the use of my right arm,” he said. “I have no idea what extent my brain injury will be. I paid with the life of a good friend.”Hall's attorney, Craig Schoenfeld, described the teen driver as"a good person" from a good family who made"a horrible mistake." Hall's parents spoke to the victims and the court, his father describing his remorse.“He still has difficulty forgiving himself for the accident,” Robert Hall said.
