DELRAY BEACH, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2025 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — The teen accused of killing six people in a late night crash on U.S. 441 in West Delray Beach nearly three years ago will spend twelve years in prison following a guilty plea entered Monday afternoon. Noah Galle, of 14931 Horseshoe Trace in Wellington, will also spend seven years on probation. He won’t be eligible for a driver’s license in Florida until at least 2037. Galle, 17 at the time, was accused of speeding on U.S. 441 around 11 p.m. on January 27, 2022, when he slammed into a car in the area of Atlantic Avenue. He was driving a BMW M5 at the time of the crash. Here’s what the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office released at the time:
“A BMW M5 driven by Noah T. Galle, 17, of Wellington was traveling northbound in the 14000 block of South State Road 7, at a high rate of speed, within the inside lane of travel. A Nissan Rogue was traveling ahead of the BMW in the 14073 block of South State Road 7, within the inside lane of travel. As the Rogue continued northbound, the BMW overtook and collided with the Rogue. During the collision, the front of the BMW impacted the rear of the Rogue.
Immediately after impact, the BMW was redirected to the northeast (while rotating clockwise) over the outside lane of travel, and onto the eastern shoulder of South State Road 7 where it came to final rest facing east.
Immediately after impact, the Rogue was redirected to the northwest (while rotating clockwise) of the inside of the roadway and into the center median. As the Rogue traveled down into the grass and dirt center median, it began flipping and rolling over before coming to final rest (upside down) within the center median facing northwest.”
Killed in the Rogue: Miriaine Innocent Julceus, Remize Michel, Marie Michelle Louis, Saint Louis Michel, Filaine Dieu, and Vanice Percina. Multiple lawsuits were filed against Noah Galle and his parents. Some of those lawsuits continue to work their way through the court system. BocaNewsNow.com, in an exclusive interview with Galle’s defense attorney Julian M. Kessel shortly after the crash, reported that claims that Galle was under the influence of anything were completely inaccurate. Charges relating to alcohol or drugs were never filed.
“There is no evidence that he was intoxicated on the night in question,” said Kessel. “Prior to (the crash) he was at home with his family. There was no drinking or drug use of any type.”
Galle was sentenced Monday afternoon after he entered a guilty plea to six counts of vehicular homicide. The official sentencing, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office: “12 years department of corrections, seven years probation, driver’s license revoked for three years, 800 hours of community service, attend victim impact panel, and (take a) 12 hour driving course.”
According to sentencing guidelines, he was facing minimum of 666 months (55.5 years) if he were to take this to trial and lose. I understand plea bargains but 12 years for taking 6 lives? And only 3 years license suspension?? What a joke.
Let me do the math. 6 people were killed by some irresponsible teenager and he is only serving 12 years in jail. So that’s 2 years for each life he killed. OMG! Plus he gets to get a drivers license again in 3 years.
