Shane Brolly, the 25-year-old driver in a DUI crash that seriously injured four Neshaminy High School girls, will spend 15 to 30 years in state prison for the crash in Northampton Township, Bucks County on March 27, 2021. Brolly, a U.K. citizen from Northern Ireland, was living in the United States illegally on an expired work visa and had been drinking in Philadelphia for hours prior to the crash. He had a blood-alcohol content of 0.21, more than twice the legal limit in Pennsylvania, and was speeding when he crossed into oncoming traffic to pass a vehicle in a no-passing zoning. Brolly also had a record of drunk driving in Northern Ireland prior to his arrival in the U.S., where he fled to avoid sentencing in a 2019 police chase in the United Kingdom.
