HONESDALE— A suburban New York man faces up to 21 years in prison for allowing his unlicensed teenage daughter to drive an SUV that crashed in northeastern Pennsylvania last summer, killing three other teens.

Michael Ware, 54, of Scarsdale, New York, is scheduled to be sentenced in Wayne County Court on Thursday. He pleaded guilty last month to three counts each of involuntary manslaughter and reckless endangerment in the Aug. 30, 2014 crash.

Prosecutors say Ware gave the keys of his Chevrolet Suburban to his daughter, then 15, who drove five friends to breakfast before losing control of the SUV and flipping it in Paupack Township, in the Pocono Mountains.
