One was a motorcyclist, and the other two were Flagler County deputy county administrator, Jorge Salinas, and his wife.<\/p>\n<p>Flagler County Deputy County Administrator Jorge Salinas (Flagler County)<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">The offending vehicle fled the scene, but last month, troopers announced that the driver \u2014 identified as 23-year-old Lindsey Isaacs of Ocala \u2014 had been arrested.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">As a result, jail records showed that she faced the following charges:<\/p>\n<p>Leaving the scene of a crash involving serious bodily injury<\/p>\n<p>Reckless driving, causing serious bodily injury<\/p>\n<p>Leaving the scene of a crash involving death (3 counts)<\/p>\n<p>Vehicular homicide (3 counts)<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">But on Friday, News 6 obtained court records that show no information was filed against Isaacs by prosecutors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">Last week, News 6 learned that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clickorlando.com\/news\/local\/2026\/05\/14\/woman-accused-in-fatal-i-4-hit-and-run-arraignment-delayed-over-new-evidence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.clickorlando.com\/news\/local\/2026\/05\/14\/woman-accused-in-fatal-i-4-hit-and-run-arraignment-delayed-over-new-evidence\/\">her arraignment had been postponed<\/a> after prosecutors revealed that new evidence had emerged in the case, though they declined to publicly disclose what it was.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">In addition, her attorney, Patrick McGeehan, posted a video to social media following her release from custody.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">\u201cMajor development in the case that doesn\u2019t usually happen and is completely out of the ordinary,\u201d McGeehan said in the video. \u201cWe maintain her innocence. We have fought back and pushed back against the FHP and the state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">News 6 asked FHP whether investigators are still actively working the case and whether another driver could be responsible for the deaths. In a statement, the agency said:<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__Box-sc-1fnzlkn-0 dist__TextBase-sc-1fnzlkn-3 bYFsJw cuqaEv article-text\">\u201cThis case involved three fatalities, and cases such as these are incredibly complex, requiring reconstruction and countless hours of investigation to confirm or rule out potential leads.
