The crash happened on Sunday, Sept. 3, 2023, at the intersection of Laurel Avenue and San Miguel Road in Poinciana, FHP said.
The impact of the crash caused the Honda to spin and slam into a light pole, FHP said.
“I’m dying inside. “”I don’t get to see my children anymore, I don’t get to see my mother anymore,” she told FOX 35 at the time.
“This is the outcome. I lost my entire family, right here in this spot,” Hernandez said. “I will never wake up and see my children again.”
What we know:
According to the arrest report, Ferguson “knowingly assisted his son (redacted) by moving one vehicle out of the way so that (his son) could enter (the vehicle) which was parked in the driveway,” and allowed three of his friends – all minors – to drive with him. =
Is the son facing charges in the crash?
It is unclear if he is facing those charges as a juvenile or an adult. FOX 35 typically does not name juvenile defendants, unless their case has been upgraded to adult court.
