The Domino Effect
On February 28, 2003, Caitlyn Craig-Mcleod, Brian Ellsworth and Michael Heykoop were among eight teenagers who piled into the 2000 Chevy Impala. Despite pleas to slow down, the 16-year old driver was speeding at 80 miles-per-hour in a 30 mile-per-hour zone when she lost control and spun head-on into oncoming traffic. The Impala collided with a mini-van and caused the van to hit another car. Their families' lives have been forever changed by the choices that were made that day.
Caitlyn, Brian and Michael died on impact and their five friends were seriously injured; seven were not wearing seatbelts. Two young children and three adults in the other vehicles were also hurt. The 16-year old driver was charged and sentenced. She also suffers from a permanent brain injury.
