A Mercedes-driving Instagram model from New York blamed party drugs and time travel for the reason she allegedly caused a three-car wreck and killed two people — including a father — in downtown Miami last week.
Maecee Marie Lathers, 24, confessed to police she was under the influence of “pink cocaine” when she ran a red light and crashed into a black Range Rover before trying to flee the area on Aug. 10, according to WPLG.
Pink cocaine” also known as “tusi” or 2C is a synthetic drug concoction linked to a dangerous Venezuelan gang and blowing through New York City’s drug scene.
“She advised she was under the influence of “2C” a known party drug and that she was from the future and had a crystal ball,” Florida 11th Circuit Court Judge Mindy S. Glazer read from a police report, according to video obtained by the outlet.
Lather’s car and the Range Rover collided with a silver Suzuki sedan carrying three people heading to work.
The 24-year-old driver of the Range Rover suffered minor injuries.
The driver of the Suzuki, identified as Abraham Ismael, had to be extricated from the car and died at Jackson Memorial Hospital, the outlet said, citing the arrest report.
The rear passenger was killed instantly.
Ismael’s wife, Juanita Hernández was in the front passenger seat and survived the crash.
Hernández was hospitalized and said she was unable to work due to her injuries. She also said that her husband left behind a 16-year-old son.
Lather, whose license has been suspended since January, attempted to flee the crash scene but was stopped by bystanders who grabbed her and brought her back to the crash, Local10 reported.
Lather was charged with four counts of driving without a license resulting in death or serious injury and four counts of leaving the scene of a crash resulting in death or serious injuries, all felonies, according to court records viewed by The Post.
She’s being held on a $140,000 bond.
