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.

She was just taking her car in to the dealership for repairs.
Seriously. If I ended up in a car like that with someone driving that fast, I sure as heck am at least putting on my seatbelt.
What is the IHHS rating on a Hyundai Elantra?
I think it ought to be up-rated, whatever it is ...
This kind of ‘dummy testing’ can’t usually be bought.
Seriously? It’s an old FR joke.

Mexican illegal no doubt.
Well, the car landed in a parking lot of an auto dealership.
Don’t think she’ll get much of a trade in though.
Cars pretty banged up.
If it please the court I contest that verdict.
