MIAMI — The Miami Gardens man named by state troopers as the cause of Saturday’s Palmetto Expressway crash that killed five people hasn’t had a driver’s license since a 2014 ticket for driving 109 mph, online court records say.
That ticket in Collier County wouldn’t be the last traffic violation conviction for Maiky Simeon, 30, but it’s the one that caused the license suspension that doesn’t appear to have been lifted. Simeon also still owes $1,070.38 in traffic fines to Miami-Dade and Collier counties.
So, Simeon shouldn’t have been driving anything Saturday around 4:30 a.m. when, the Florida Highway Patrol said, he was driving east in State Road 826’s westbound lanes just north of Miami Lakes.
