Texas Teen Jailed 65 Years for Fatal Crash Killing Indian-Origin Family
A young man in Texas was driving a truck while under the influence of THC, a substance from marijuana.
He accidentally swerved his truck into another car.
Tragically, the car he hit was carrying a family of Indian descent.
Six members of the family, including two young children, did not survive the terrible accident.
The only adult survivor was badly hurt and can no longer walk.
The driver who caused the crash has now been sentenced to 65 years in prison for his actions.
Prosecutors want everyone to remember how dangerous it is to drive while impaired.
