MIAMI (AP) — A 16-year-old Miami teen was drunk and high early on New Year's morning when he crashed into a car that turned in front of him, killing four people, prosecutors allege
The teen, who only had a driver's permit, had taken his mother's car to take a friend home around 3:30 a.m. on Jan. 1 when the crash happened on West Flagler Street in Miami.
A judge on Friday ruled that the teen should be held in jail until his trial, even though he had no previous criminal record and had volunteered to be placed on closely supervised house arrest, the Miami Herald reported.
