A fatal three-vehicle collision early Friday morning in Miami has led to the arrest of Jesus Andres Villalobos, 32. He faces charges including vehicular homicide and driving without a license. The crash tragically claimed the life of 79-year-old Eduardo Marquez and left two other individuals hospitalized.
The incident occurred around 4:15 a.m. when Villalobos, driving a pickup truck, reportedly sideswiped another vehicle before veering off the road and colliding head-on with Marquez's car. Investigators noted a strong odor of alcohol on Villalobos, who admitted to never having been issued a driver's license.
Villalobos was taken into custody and later appeared in court where a bond was set for his charges. The investigation into the exact circumstances of the crash, including DUI analysis from blood samples taken at the scene, is ongoing.
