Driver found Guilty in Crash that injured his Bride’s Mother
In a June crash on Route 51, a driver managed to severely injure the mother of his bride-to-be, and his since pleaded guilty to 2 traffic violations yesterday.

20 year old Adam Mains pleaded guilty before a Common Pleas judge to careless driving and driving above the speed limit in a work zone. The crash that subsequently followed injured Brenda Schragl of South Park. She suffered multiple fractures and brain injuries and was in a coma for nearly a month after the crash. This has caused the postponement of the wedding ceremony.

Mr. Mains faces at least $300 worth of fines and a suspension of his driver’s license. The Schragl family on the other hand, has a civil lawsuit pending against Mr. Mains and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, alleging that the work zone was unsafe. The crash took place when the family members were travelling to a restaurant for a rehearsal dinner.

Mr. Mains has a long history of driving offenses and has admitted that he was speeding.
