Woman Charged in Minnesota Crash That Killed Boy

     A woman was accused of speeding and caused a crash that killed an 11-year-old boy and injured his parents and sister. The woman is facing criminal charges in Dakota County. The 28-year-old woman is named, Leah Christina Graeber, from Savage. She was supposedly driving up to 86 miles per hour on Highway 13. This incident occurred in Burnsville on July 18th. They say that she lost control of her car, went through a grass median, and hit an SUV going in a different direction. The 11-year-old boy that was killed was named, Joel Balistreri. They charged Leah Graeber with vehicular homicide by gross negligence, which caused bodily harm by operating a vehicle. She was also caught with possession of cocaine. But, the blood test that Leah Graeber took, stated that she was not under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time of the accident.
     I think if an incident were to happen like that anywhere, the person charged with these horrific crimes of vehicular homicide, should not be given a valid driver's licence. I think their licence should be taken away until further notice of the right that they have proof to get it back if they are approved.
