A Miami woman who authorities said was driving more than 100 mph seconds before she slammed into another vehicle, killing a 7-year-old boy and leaving his little sister and mother severely injured, is facing a vehicular homicide charge. A 24-year-old woman was arrested Wednesday on one count of vehicular homicide in a reckless manner and two counts of reckless driving causing serious bodily injury, according to an arrest report. According to the report, the woman was behind the wheel of a Ford F-150 the night of July 11, 2019, when she crashed into a Toyota Camry. The 24-year-old woman had a 14-year-old girl with her in the truck, and was on Bird Road driving at a high rate of speed near the intersection of Southwest 92nd Avenue, the report said.

Florida’s Wrongful Death Act
Wrongful death actions arise as a result of the death of the plaintiff from injuries sustained in an accident. The Florida Wrongful Death Act creates a right of action for wrongful death in favor of statutorily designated beneficiaries that was not recognized at common law. The theory on which the common law denied recovery for wrongful death was that by reason of the death, the civil injury was merged in the felony of homicide. By contrast, the Florida Wrongful Death Act provides, generally, that when the death of a person is caused by the wrongful act, negligence, default, or breach of contract or warranty of any person, then the person that would have been liable in
damages if death had not ensued will be liable for damages as specified in the Act, notwithstanding the death of the person injured and although death was caused under circumstances constituting a felony.
