A similar thing happened here in Australia in 2001 when an 18 year old girl who had been inhaling butane and was off her face, ploughed into a footpath on the Gold Coast. It happened to be a Sunday afternoon when there were a many pedestrians around, and she killed a nine year old girl and injured another 11 people, two seriously.
She spent only two and a half years in jail, and has her sentence downgraded to home detention, being allowed out for shopping trips with her infant daughter, much to the distress of the dead girl's mother.
