Plea Deal Sends Drunk Driver to Prison For Killing Oneida Teen Kane Buss
8 months after an Oneida family lost their son in a drunk driving accident, the driver has accepted a plea deal. Leonard Glowacki, who's accused of killing Kane Buss in a car crash near Destiny USA last January, pled guilty and will be sentenced October 1st. He could spend 8 to 25 years behind bars.
Buss was killed when his car was struck on his way home from a date with his girlfriend Amanda Pawlikowski. A love he sacrificed his life for. Jennifer Peters, who called Kane her “adopted son” says “Kane’s last heroic act was to shield Amanda from the impact. Doctors said his actions saved her life.”
Leonard Glowacki is accused of running into their vehicle on Hiawatha Boulevard, near Destiny USA. He was charged with vehicular manslaughter, vehicular assault and DWI.
Although Glowacki's plea deal won't bring Buss back, it will give his family and friends the closure they need.
A Scholarship has been set up in Kane's name and a tree and plaque has been placed at Destiny USA and Oneida high school to keep his memory alive.
