The 17-year-old South Lebanon boy who was driving is scheduled for sentencing on March 21 in Warren County Juvenile Court.
Last month, the boy admitted to two counts of vehicular assault in connection with the crash that sent four of his passengers to the hospital and triggered the extended closure of the road section and bridge.
