Reports say the defendant was driving recklessly on State Road A1A in Volusia County on November 1, 2025. He was reportedly traveling 147 MPH just seconds before the crash. Reports also put his speed at roughly 110 MPH as he tried to overtake another car in an area where passing was prohibited.

The Florida Highway Patrol and State Attorney Investigators investigated the case. Assistant State Attorney Ashley Terwilleger prosecuted it for the State of Florida. In August, the defendant offered no contest pleas on two vehicular homicide counts and two DUI manslaughter counts. The Honorable Christian Miller presided over the hearing and imposed the sentence of 47 years in prison.
State Attorney R.J. Larizza said the defendant chose to drive recklessly while intoxicated, and that the sentence was meant to warn drunk drivers about the consequences of such conduct.
