New York Model Faces Charges After Fatal Miami Crash While Allegedly High on "Pink Cocaine

 

Miami, FL — Maecee Marie Lathers, a 24-year-old New York model, is facing multiple charges after a devastating car crash in downtown Miami on August 10 that left two people dead and two others injured. Lathers, who was allegedly under the influence of "pink cocaine" at the time, has been charged with driving without a license and leaving the scene of a crash resulting in death or serious injury.

 

The incident occurred when Lathers, driving a white Mercedes, ran a red light and collided with a black Range Rover and a silver Suzuki at high speed on North Miami Avenue, just after 6:45 a.m. The crash resulted in the death of Abraham Ismael, the driver of the Suzuki, and a rear-seat passenger who died at the scene. Ismael's wife, Juanita Hernandez, who was also in the Suzuki, and the driver of the Range Rover, were both hospitalized with injuries.

 

During her bond hearing, Judge Mindy S. Glazer condemned Lathers’ actions, citing her impaired state and calling her "an absolute danger to the community." The court heard that Lathers had confessed to police that she was high on a party drug known as "2C" and bizarrely claimed she was from the future and had a crystal ball.

 

Security footage from the scene showed Lathers attempting to walk away from the crash site before being brought back by witnesses. Judge Glazer noted that without the intervention of bystanders, Lathers might have fled entirely.

 

Despite her attorney highlighting her academic achievements and stable life in Florida, Lathers' driving privileges had been revoked in January, further complicating her defense. Prosecutors are awaiting a toxicology report to determine whether additional charges will be brought against her.

 

Hernandez, who survived the crash, shared her heartbreaking story, explaining that her husband's death has upended their family's life, particularly for their 16-year-old son. In a GoFundMe plea, Hernandez expressed grief over her loss and her inability to work due to her injuries, noting that her husband's death has also left his mother in Nicaragua, who suffers from Parkinson’s disease, without financial support.

 

The case has drawn significant attention due to Lathers' social media presence as an Instagram influencer and the severity of the charges against her. The investigation is ongoing as authorities work to determine the full extent of her impairment during the incident.
