A family has now lost a third relative after a violent crash in Hialeah, for which a teenager is facing charges as an adult.
Smeider Rodriguez said his family had hope.
“After three victims in this accident and having buried two, my mother and my cousin, we at least had hope that my aunt would, someway or another, survive, albeit with many limitations,” he said in Spanish to our sister station Telemundo 51 But those hopes were dashed on Tuesday, when 66-year-old Liliana Hernandez Molina took her last breaths in a rehabilitation center where she had remained hospitalized since the crash on April 23. Police said 15-year-old Maykoll Santiesteban was driving over 80 mph in a 30-mph zone while joyriding with friends when he plowed into an SUV.
“The suffering will be forever, but the one we have now is enormous,” Hernandez Molina’s husband, Bob Garcia, said. The two were married for 43 years.
The crash also claimed the lives of Garcia’s daughter, 39-year-old Yarina Garcia, and his sister-in-law, 71-year-old Gloria Hernandez.
Santiesteban faces two counts of vehicular homicide, one count of reckless driving, and three counts of driving with a suspended license causing harm.
