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.

LOL, that’s more true than most people know. And my first hand knowledge on the matter is some 30 years out of date.
Actually AA is no more and is now I 75.
In the day it was a two lanner,a dangerous one at that.
When it was AA it went from Ftld to Naples.
Did it on week ends for years on a 75 Triumph
Id give her a probationary “not guilty” for now but something tells me she wont age well.
You got that right. Everybody seems to drive like its the last lap of the Daytona 500.
Probably just as safe to drive your Tesla on auto-pilot as ride with her.

This is what life looks like with zero consequences.
In fact, there are now POSITIVE consequences for bad behavior; treatment, government help, free health care... all paid for by people who learned from an early age that there are negative consequences for stupid behavior, actions, and decisions.

We spend a lot of time, effort and money to make and enforce our laws.
But some people think they don’t have to follow our laws.
They think they are outside our laws.
They are outlaws and must be dealt with appropriately.
I wonder how many parties she has attended in the last six years?
I had an Elantra, it was a great car. Kept me safe through years of a killer commute. That car was like one of those 98 lb little Italian ladies who don’t take crap from nobody. I cried when I traded it in last year. Had over 150k miles. Some gal out in Nebraska put a million miles on one, Hyundai gave her a brand new car.
Every DUI with injury or death should require an eye put out and never allowed to drive again. If caught driving, they should have the other eye put out.
He was driving 17 mph in a 35 mile zone.THe officer made him get out of the car and started laughing so hard he never gave him a ticket.
The guy kept apologizing for going 75 in a 35,yeah he had a little too much weed......
Haha, so true...barely faster than prevailing traffic.
My husband got T-Boned from a gal running a red light in a Hyundai Sonata......totalled the car...her car went thru a little of our car, but my husband walked away with just some badly bruised or broken ribs, so we bought ANOTHER Sonata! GREAT CAR!
DUI manslaughter and prison time for it. So, she would not be able to have a license re-instated in FL, not after that. But when has that ever stopped a criminal from acting. Wonder whose car it was. It could not have been hers, or with her insured as a driver. She is in big trouble, as are the other vehicle occupants, should they survive, and they may not.
Another point— the tires on a Hyundai, unless speed rated— would not hold together at above 90 mph sustained. Have seen these loonies be surprised when the lower speed rated tires fly apart at high speed- see it in summertime road surface temps above 90 degrees.
