GREEN BAY, WI : 16-year-old driver pleads guilty in crash that killed teen passenger on Monday, 26th February 2024

The teen driver in a fatal reckless driving crash pleaded guilty to amended charges on Monday and avoided a trial.

Investigators say 16-year-old Sienna Pecore was going more than 100 miles per hour before crashing into other cars in October 2022, killing 17-year-old Cruz Beltran.

Pecore, who was 15 at the time of the crash, pleaded guilty to second-degree reckless homicide and second-degree recklessly endangering safety as part of a plea agreement. Monday was Pecore's trial date.

"I don't think any words can describe how I feel about him not being here because it's just like an immense pain I feel every day," Beltran's sister Angela McGinnis told TMJ4 News.

"It's just kind of hard because no amount of time is justified for my brother not being here. So, we just as a family are dealing with what we can," McGinnis said.
