MIAMI — A man who troopers say was behind the wheel in a wrong-way crash that killed five young adults on the Palmetto Expressway has been arrested, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Maiky Simeon, who lives in a Miami-Dade County, is facing five counts of vehicular homicide, his arrest report shows. He was placed under arrest on Sunday although he remains in the hospital.
“Troopers are awaiting the results of a toxicology report to determine if impairment was a contributing factor,” said FHP spokesman Lt. Alex Camacho. “If it is determined that Mr. Simeon was impaired at the time of the crash, additional charges will be filed.”
