A Tampa woman on probation for a 2014 traffic fatality was arrested Sunday after a high-speed crash off Interstate 4 in Hillsborough County, authorities said.

The crash happened at about 1:40 a.m. Sunday morning at the Gator Ford dealership, 1780 Tampa Gateway Boulevard near I-4, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

When the trooper tried to overtake her vehicle, Carvajal made a hard right turn, which sent the Hyundai Elantra into the shoulder and down an embankment before it went airborne, over a fence and crashed into the dealership, where it overturned.

A passenger in the front seat was thrown to the back of the car and two other passengers were ejected. All three passengers suffered serious injuries and one is in critical condition, according to the report.

The Highway Patrol said Carvajal suffered minor injuries. According to the report, she was the only one in the car wearing a seatbelt.

Carvajal faces charges of reckless driving (serious injury), DUI (serious injury), DUI with property damage, driving without a driver’s license (serious injury) and violation of probation for DUI manslaughter.

Right next to the Flying J, where all the semis stay, about a mile east of there the big Confederate flag used to fly.

“...driving without a valid license,.....”

Sounds like the need to pull her pilot’s license too.

I noticed that. Poor reporting to not include that information.

Been through that stretch many, many times. Left Florida 15 years ago, don’t plan on ever driving that piece of road ever again.

I don’t think I’ve ever pushed Hyundai Sonata over 70 MPH. But it’s a great car.

You might want to stay off the roads in west Texas. Posted speed is 70 on some of the narrow 2 lane back roads, 80 on the interstate. Which means functional speeds of 80 in the slow lanes; let faster traffic have the left lane on the interstate. mid-ought Sonatas could easily handle the highway speeds. Wheelbase seemed a little short for optimal handling.

At least 100 miles north. It's about ten miles outside of Tampa, and Alligator Alley goes from Naples to Miami.

Kinda cute, but the cra-cray is probably pretty strong with this one.

Actually it’s 85mph on some west Texas Interstates.
