Teen Faces Possible Decades in Prison for Fatal DWI Crash
A teenager from Holly Springs is potentially facing a 62-year sentence in prison following a tragic incident that resulted in the death of a 14-year-old. At a recent arraignment hearing in Wake County, 16-year-old Ashton Rahlfs faced charges for hitting a teenager on a bicycle with his SUV, causing a fatal crash. Rahlfs is also accused of colliding with another vehicle, resulting in serious injuries to its driver. The charges against Rahlfs include felony second-degree murder, felony death by vehicle, and serious injury by vehicle, which collectively could lead to the maximum sentence.
