A Wisconsin teenager has been charged with reckless homicide after he allegedly crashed into another driver at a high speed while driving drunk.

Carter Green, 18, was taken into custody at Outagamie County Jail on Monday, two days following his involvement in an intense, high-speed collision that resulted in the death of 27-year-old Casey Sjoberg. As per a criminal complaint accessed by Law&Crime, Green was driving a Chevy Malibu, allegedly speeding through a red light at around 130 to 145 mph, when he crashed into Sjoberg’s Dodge Neon.

Upon arrival at the crash site, police detected an “odor of intoxicants” and questioned Green about drinking. He insisted, “Absolutely not.” However, field sobriety tests reportedly indicated otherwise.

Authorities mentioned that just past midnight on Oct. 4, they responded to reports of a two-vehicle crash in Appleton, with one car reportedly on fire. Sjoberg, in the Dodge Neon, was found unresponsive and trapped in his vehicle. His passenger was sent to the hospital for injury treatment.

Sjoberg was eventually pronounced dead at the scene.

Green and his passenger were found safely outside the Chevy Malibu. The passenger, whose identity remains undisclosed, reportedly sustained minor injuries and was asleep during the crash. He informed police that both had attended a friend’s bonfire and later visited the Beansnappers strip club. Green reportedly consumed multiple beers at both locations.

Two days post-crash, Green’s passenger appeared at the Appleton Police Department and informed a sergeant that shortly after the accident, Green had awakened him. The friend mentioned Green repeatedly saying, “I’m screwed, I’m screwed, I’m screwed.” He further noted seeing Green’s speedometer displaying 130 mph and believed Green was “hauling.” The complaint indicated Green had a new turbo installed in his vehicle the day before the incident.

When police investigated traffic cameras that caught Green’s vehicle before the crash, they estimated that the Malibu was traveling at a speed between 130 and 145 mph. It was also determined by police that Green allegedly ran a red light before colliding into Sjoberg’s car.

Police stated that when they encountered Green at the crash site, he appeared to be “clearly intoxicated” and “seemed to have no remorse or concern for the other people involved in the crash.” He denied being under the influence or having anything to drink.

According to the criminal complaint, Green blew a 0.178 on a breath test, more than twice Wisconsin’s legal limit of 0.08 for drivers over the age of 21. Drivers under the age of 21 are not legally allowed to drive with any alcohol in their system.

Green was charged with first-degree reckless homicide with modifications for being under the influence. He is being held at the Outagamie County Jail; his bond amount was not available. Green is scheduled to appear in court again on Dec. 1.
