Woman Gets 15 1/2 Years in Children’s Sled Deaths

A woman was sentenced in Knox to 15 1/2 years in prison for the deaths of two children, who were killed when a van struck the sled she was pulling with an all-terrain vehicle.
Bobbie Rowe, 43, was driving the ATV at night on a rural road when the sled veered into oncoming traffic. Rowe’s 19-year-old daughter, who was baby-sitting the children killed in the January 2005 accident, was riding on the sled with them and suffered a broken arm.
“This would not have happened but for your reckless conduct,” Judge Kim Hall said. “You were on the road, in the dark, with the children.”
