HIALEAH, FL : Authorities seek to charge teen as adult in Hialeah crash that killed 2 on Friday, 26th April 2024

A 15-year-old out for a joyride will likely face adult charges in connection with a deadly crash in Hialeah, authorities say.

The crash happened Tuesday night in the 400 block of Southeast Fifth Street.

Two people, 39-year-old Yarnia Garcia Hernandez and her aunt, 53-year-old Gloria Hernandez, were killed in the crash, while Hernandez’s mother, 66-year-old Liliana Hernandez Molina, was in the back seat and remained in critical condition at Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center, according to authorities.

Police said Maykoll Santiesteban was behind the wheel in his father’s car.

The teen spoke to Local 10 News’ Glenna Milberg, telling her he did not have a driver’s license. He also said the vehicle he hit had just run a stop sign.

“I just took it, the keys were there and I just took it,” Santiesteban said.
