Mother sentenced to probation for letting unlicensed teen son drive in deadly accident
In 2023, Candie Springer allowed her unlicensed 15-year-old son to drive her Dodge Charger, resulting in a crash that caused serious injuries to one passenger who later died. Springer pled no contest to a misdemeanor charge of letting an unlicensed person drive and was sentenced to a year's probation, 300 hours of community service, and restitution to the victim's family. The felony charge of child cruelty was dropped. The victim's family expressed dissatisfaction with the plea deal, feeling that Springer should face jail time. Despite this, they have forgiven her as a way to move forward. There were concerns raised about special treatment due to Springer dating a deputy district attorney at the time of the incident, but the case was handled appropriately according to the prosecutor. Additionally, Springer's son faced charges in juvenile court for his role in the crash.
