MIAMI – A driver faces several felony charges after police said she tried to walk away from a crash in downtown Miami that killed 2 people.
Police said Maecee Marie Lathers, 24, confessed to being on the party drug known as pink cocaine when she ran a red light and crashed her Mercedes-Benz on North Miami Avenue shortly before 7 a.m. last Saturday.
According to the incident report, Lathers was driving south on North Miami Avenue when she ran a red light slamming into a Range Rover.
The impact caused both vehicles to crash into a Suzuki, killing the driver and a passenger.
On Friday, Lathers appeared in front of Miami Judge Mindy Glazer, who said, “She’s an absolute danger to the community based on killing or driving when she shouldn’t have been in a car, and she’s clearly impaired based on her statements.”
Lathers’ Instagram profile shows her working as a model affiliated with two modeling agencies.
Police said she was not even supposed to be driving because she had a suspended license, Glazer set her bond at $140,000.
