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.

cars are deadly weapons especially in the hands of the idiots...
could it not be reasonable to not permit someone with a vehicle manslaughter charge or pending one, not drive until its resolved?
111mph in a Hyundai on I4 and the driver’s the only one wearing a seatbelt??
The article said she didn’t have a driving license.
Maybe we need to register all cars and do a BI when someone tries to buy one.
She has already demonstrated that she is willing to drive without a license:
"Carvajal served time in prison after she ran a red light and struck and killed a 52-year-old driver in Plant City in 2014. Carvajal, who was 16 at the time of the crash, was arrested for DUI manslaughter and driving without a valid license, according to reports."
Legal status?
That’ll buff right out.
Not guilty
I’m impressed with these Hyundai’s.
111 on I-4, what’s the big deal?
She was only ~15mph over the speed most people drive on that road.
Bitch needs to go to jail for at least 10 years.
I don’t think I’ve ever pushed Hyundai Sonata over 70 MPH. But it’s a great car.
Yeah those Hyundais are known to achieve escape velocity right around the time you hang a right at 100 mph+. And what of her genius passengers? If they had even the vaguest idea of her history, that they would have voluntarily gotten in the car with her after she’d been drinking is mind blowing. Even if they were completely ignorant, remaining unbelted like the rear passengers were is just terminal stupid. Maybe the frontpassenger was belted and the seat just collapsed.
With her history , in CA this little escapade would earn her a few years in jail (local time,
Probably not prison.) in FL, well, it’s FL, so who knows.
From 2015. More here....
Sentence her to hard labor to earn her food and water and oxygen.
Time to lock her up for a long time and keep the roads a lot safer.
