GA Woman Priscilla Johnson Charged with Killing Two Teens with Car While Driving Under the Influence & Talking on Cellphone

Priscilla Johnson facing litany of charges, including DUI, red light violation, hit and run, after she hit three teens, killing two, on metro-Atlanta highway while talking on the cellphone.

Priscilla Johnson should be tossed in prison and the key thrown away in the deaths of two teenagers who she mowed down on a Clayton County, Ga., street on Thursday while driving under the influence and talking on a cell phone. That's a deadly combination. According to MyFoxAtlanta, Johnson, 48, swerved into the emergency lane and struck three teens walking along Highway 138 Thursday afternoon. One teen died at the scene, while another died after being airlifted to Grady Memorial Hospital.
Other charges Johnson faces are two counts of homicide by motor vehicle, hit and run, no proof of insurance, a red light violation, driving with a suspended license, and obstruction of a police officer. Police say the three teens ranged in age from 17 to 19. The names of the victims have not been released. Source
This could have been avoided and is a travesty. Priscilla Johnson doesn't need a slap on the wrist. She needs to be punished to the fullest extent of the law. The third teen is listed in critical condition. Isn't it typical that the drivers in these situations are rarely hurt as a result of their actions?

UPDATE#1: The deceased teens have been identified as Antonious Bishop, 16, who died at the scene. Octavius Sorrells, 17, was pronounced dead at Grady Hospital a few hours later, and Timothy Aaron, who turns 18 on Sept. 25, remains in critical condition at Grady Memorial Hospital.
