Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office
Three Florida teenagers stole a Maserati and drove at high speeds to avoid police until the car overturned and crashed, killing one of the passengers, according to a new police video.
The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office has released helicopter footage tracking the teenagers’ every move from start to finish during Sunday’s INSANE crash in St. Petersburg.
The video shows the teenagers walking up to a parked Maserati and slipping into the unlocked vehicle, unaware that they are being watched from above. Police were in the area on a call unrelated to the robbery and saw them acting suspiciously.
The children get into the car and initially drive down the street at a moderate speed when two police SUVs come after them, trying to pull them over.
Suddenly, the Maserati takes off, hitting 123 mph … leaving the cops in the dust. On the walkie-talkie, the sergeant orders the officers in the SUV not to pursue the speeding car.
About 20 seconds later, the Maserati loses control and the seaplane flies across the road, hitting a curb and flipping onto the hood as debris flies everywhere.
15-year-old passenger Mario Bonilla died at the scene. Driver Keandrick Langalso 15, and passenger Malachi Daniels, 16 years old, hospitalized. Both are expected to survive.
Police say Lang now faces a charge of murder, which can be applied under Florida law whenever someone is killed in the commission of a crime.
