All three drivers involved in the crash that left four Santa Fe teenagers dead late last month were technically violating the terms of their driver's licenses at the time, Santa Fe County Sheriff Greg Solano said Thursday.

The license belonging to Scott Owens — the 27-year-old driver who allegedly caused the early-morning crash by driving in the wrong lane of Old Las Vegas Highway — expired in January, according to a Sheriff's Department report about the crash released Thursday. Owens' blood alcohol content nearly four hours after the crash was .16, twice the legal driving limit.

Avree Koffman, 16, who was driving a red 1992 Subaru sedan that was hit by Owens, had a provisional license that didn't allow her to be driving past midnight or driving more than one other person under 18 in her car, Solano said. The four teens who died were all riding in Koffman's car. Koffman, who had no alcohol in her system at the time of the crash, is recovering from serious injuries at an Albuquerque hospital.

Taylor Johnson, 16, was driving a white Subaru that was following Koffman's car and hit the back of the driver's side of Owens' Jeep immediately after the crash. Johnson had three other teens in her car and had the same type of license as Koffman, Solano said.

The Sheriff's Department has forwarded that information to the District Attorney's Office, which will determine whether to file misdemeanor traffic violations against the drivers, Solano said. Deputy District Attorney Doug Couleur said Thursday that no decision has been made on the issue.

Otherwise, the accident report confirms the details of the crash released thus far by the Sheriff's Department.

Koffman attempted to get out of Owens' way by turning left into the lane he should have been in, the report says. At about the same time, Owens swerved back into the lane he should have been in and the two cars collided, according to the report. Johnson's car was immediately behind Koffman's car and hit the back of the Jeep as it passed through the wreckage, the report states.

The impact occurred 6.75 feet north of the center dividing line, the report says. Koffman's Subaru ended up against a cable barrier facing south after being spun around clockwise. Owens' Jeep also spun around clockwise and ended up in the northwest-bound lane, the report says. Johnson's car hit Owens' Jeep 5.5 feet south of the center dividing line, in the lane Johnson should have been driving in, the report states.

Investigators searched Koffman's car Thursday and found no liquor, drugs or anything else that would impact the case, Solano said. Two empty beer cans, a small amount of marijuana, a glass pipe and a full 12-pack of beer were found in Owens' Jeep, according to court documents.

Owens has been charged with four counts of vehicular homicide and one count of great bodily injury by vehicle. He is being held in lieu of a $3 million cash-only bond. If convicted, he faces 27 years in prison, though because he has one prior driving while intoxicated charge on his record, he could face an additional 20 years — or four years per count filed against him — because of habitual offender laws, Couleur said.
