A Washington teenager who broadsided a van carrying a mother and several children, killing four of the passengers, pleaded guilty to felony charges including vehicular homicide this week.
Chase Daniel Jones, 19, initially pleaded not guilty to the charges against him when he appeared in court via video from his hospital bed, where he was recovering from injuries sustained in the March 19, 2024, crash.
The violent collision killed the driver of the van, Andrea Hudson, 38, and her young passengers, Boyd “Buster” Brown, 12, Matilda Wilcoxson, 13, and Eloise Wilcoxson, 12. Hudson’s two children, Nolan and Charlotte Hudson, were also in the van and sustained serious injuries.
In a blog post from the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office on April 4, it was announced that Jones had changed his plea and accepted a guilty plea to all felony charges against him.
