Crash report: Altamonte Springs cop was speeding
January 1, 2009|By Bianca Prieto, Sentinel Staff Writer
A longtime Altamonte Springs police officer who crashed into a car on Maitland Boulevard in November and seriously injured two people was traveling an estimated 104 mph at the time of the accident, a Florida Highway Patrol crash report shows.
Master Police Officer Mark Maupin was in his police cruiser when he hit the back of a Honda Civic about 12:15 a.m. on Nov. 30 near Bear Lake Road. The posted speed limit in the area is 45 mph.
Troopers think Maupin, 49, lost control of his vehicle while trying to go around a slight curve on Maitland Boulevard and slammed into the 2001 Honda Civic that was stopped in the turn lane at a light.
The crash caused the Honda’s driver, Jennifer Hernandez, 19, and passenger Erskin Bell, 20, severe injuries; both were hospitalized for several days.
Bell remains in a coma, hooked up to a ventilator and a respirator at a rehabilitation center, said Nathan Carter, an Orlando attorney representing the Bell family. Hernandez was released from the hospital last month.
Bell was on vacation from college, where he was studying to be a pilot, when the accident occurred, Carter said. Bell is an only child and is a “super smart kid,” Carter said. Doctors think he could be severely brain damaged if he comes out of the coma, Carter said.
