Months after a person was killed and three others were injured in an alleged high-speed hit-and-run in Fort Lauderdale, the woman accused of causing the crash has been arrested, authorities said.
BYS, 25, was arrested Tuesday on 14 charges including vehicular homicide, leaving the scene of a crash involving death, driving with a suspended license, and reckless driving causing serious bodily injury, records show.
The charges stem from the crash that happened just after 1 a.m. on April 29 at the intersection of West Sunrise Boulevard and Northwest 24th Avenue.
According to an arrest affidavit, S was driving a Mercedes-Benz S-class at a high rate of speed when she crashed into a Nissan Altima that was making a left turn and had a green turn signal.
Four people who were in the Altima were rushed to a local hospital. One of the victims was taken off life support and died days later, on May 2.
Surveillance cameras captured S get out of the Mercedes and flee on foot after the crash, the affidavit said.
