Dansville teenager who survived fatal crash faces charges

She has been charged with unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and permitting unlicensed operation of a vehicle.

DANSVILLE, N.Y. — Four teenagers from Dansville died in a crash last month in Allegany County. Now the one teenager who survived the crash is facing charges.

New York State Police announced Wednesday morning that the 16-year-old passenger, who was the only one wearing a seat belt, is charged with two crimes: unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, because the car was taken from a family member without their permission, and permitting unlicensed operation of a vehicle because the driver only had a learner's permit.

Police say the car was speeding and never slowed down when it slammed into a tree in the Town of Burns just over a month ago.
