Lawyer: Texting teen driver who killed man, daughter likely won't do time

A teenage driver has a chance to avoid prison for killing a motorist and his 10-year-old daughter when she ran a red light while texting — after defying the pleas of a passenger to pay attention — and rammed her pickup truck into a van in Sherburne County.

Carlee R. Bollig, 17, of Little Falls, Minn., pleaded guilty Friday to two counts of criminal-vehicular homicide in the July 21 crash that killed Charles P. Maurer, 54, of Becker, and his daughter Cassy.
