A man accused of being under the influence during an alleged high-speed crash in Miami back in April that left another driver dead has been arrested, authorities said.<\/p>\n
Maykel Mulet-Sanchez, 28, was arrested Monday on charges of DUI manslaughter and vehicular homicide in a reckless manner, Miami-Dade jail records showed.<\/p>\n
Miami Police responded to the crash at the intersection of 60th Avenue and W. Flagler Street back on April 18.<\/p>\n
According to an arrest report, Mulet-Sanchez was driving a Hyundai Sonata and was speeding as he approached the intersection and collided with a Honda Accord.<\/p>\n
After the impact the Sonata went onto a sidewalk and through some bushes before hitting the wall of a nearby apartment complex, the report said.<\/p>\n
The driver of the Accord was hospitalized and later died from their injuries.<\/p>\n
At the scene, a Miami Fire Rescue worker was treating Mulet-Sanchez’s injuries and noted a strong odor of alcohol, the report said.<\/p>\n
Mulet-Sanchez was hospitalized with a possible fractured jaw, and the front passenger of the Sonata was hospitalized and confirmed Mulet-Sanchez was the driver, the report said.<\/p>\n
Blood samples were taken from Mulet-Sanchez and tested, and came back at .113, above Florida’s legal limit of .08, the report said.<\/p>\n
The report said he also tested positive for Delta-9-THC.<\/p>\n
The Sonata’s event data recorder showed it was going 74 mph five seconds before the crash and accelerating, reaching a speed of 83 mph about one second before the crash, on a street where the posted speed limit is 40 mph, the report said.<\/p>\n
At the time of the impact with the other vehicle the Sonata was estimated to be going 73 mph, the report said.<\/p>\n
Mulet-Sanchez was arrested and booked into jail. He appeared before a judge on Tuesday who set his bond at $20,000 with house arrest, adding that he can go to work but can’t drive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man accused of being under the influence during an alleged high-speed crash in Miami back in April…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":368514,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[123,125,124],"class_list":["post-368513","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/368513","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=368513"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/368513\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/368514"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=368513"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=368513"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=368513"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
