Behavior of Syracuse Teens to Prompt Legislation

A fatal accident in which two Syracuse teens were involved could lead to a new state law. A state legislator from Elkhart says he plans to introduce a bill that would require passengers to render aid to injured or trapped drivers and immediately report an accident to law enforcement. Last year, two Syracuse boys who were passengers in a car that crashed into a pond allegedly left the driver there, fleeing the scene without reporting the accident. A prosecutor says even thought the driver died, the boys broke no existing law by doing so.
