fatal crash that happened nearly six months ago<\/a> on the Interstate 95 in Fort Lauderdale, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.<\/p>\nTroopers said the crash occurred on May 26 as the Audi traveled north on I-95, just south of Cypress Creek Road, when the driver, identified as Sherkann Kilano Hector, of Coconut Creek lost control and struck a guardrail. <\/p>\n
His passenger, a 27-year-old man from Pompano Beach, was taken to Broward Health North, where he was later pronounced dead.<\/p>\n
Troopers initially said they found Hector in the driver\u2019s seat of a 2011 Audi A4, with the victim lying across the center console.<\/p>\n
Investigators said Hector showed signs of impairment, including a \u201cstrong odor of an unknown alcoholic beverage,\u201d slurred speech and red, watery eyes. A blood draw later showed a 0.081 blood alcohol content, slightly above Florida\u2019s legal limit of 0.08.<\/p>\n
According to FHP, the medical examiner determined the victim died of positional asphyxia, and ruled the manner of death an accident.<\/p>\n
Jail records show Hector is facing two counts of DUI causing death and two counts of DUI causing damage to property or person.<\/p>\n
As of Tuesday afternoon, he was being held without bond at the Broward Main Jail. <\/p>\n
