Nearly two years after a devastating crash that killed members of an Alpharetta family in Texas, a teenager has been sentenced to 65 years in prison.

Prosecutors say Luke Resecker, who was 17 at the time, had THC in his system when he veered into oncoming traffic and slammed head-on into a Honda minivan the day after Christmas in 2023.

Inside the van were a mother and two children visiting from Alpharetta, along with their grandparents and a 28-year-old driver returning home from a wildlife center. All six victims, ranging in age from 9 to 64 were killed. The father, the only survivor in the minivan, was left paralyzed from the waist down.

A teenage passenger in Resecker’s vehicle also suffered a traumatic brain injury.

Prosecutors called the case a sobering reminder of the irreversible consequences of impaired and reckless driving.
