The full story makes the Florida Highway Patrol look even worse than linked article describes. This was the result of some of worst police incompetence and dishonesty you are going to find combined with immature technology. The cops went so far as to claim in their report that her vehicle showed damage consistent with being in a multi-vehicle collision. I saw video of her vehicle taken inside the impound lot that showed not even a scratch on the car. The only thing making it look less than brand new was the coating of dust on it from sitting in impound for months. She was without a vehicle for something like 6 or 8 months until her lawyer sued which finally prompted the prosecutor's office to get off their butts and review the case which then resulted in a quick dismissal of charges.
There were actually 3 different Durango's identified by flock that were in the area near the time of the accident. It's as if the the police didn't even try to actually investigate and just decided to just draw straws on who would they would target for arrest.
If I recall correctly from when I first I heard about this story, the daughter of one of the victims had identified herself to police as a witness at the scene but they never took her statement in the days and months after the crash. Had they done so then they she would have provided them with the name of the actual driver. The daughter, the driver and the victims all knew each other and were traveling as a group after leaving a venue where alcohol was being served that they had been at for a retirement or birthday party or some similar celebration. I think one of the charges the actual driver ended up catching was tampering with evidence because she had her vehicle repaired during the months between the accident and the police finally arresting her.
