Cape Coral cops have finally nailed two reckless drivers linked to a brutal street racing wreck that killed a 75-year-old grandpa earlier this winter.
The whole thing went down on Jan. 10, a quiet afternoon shattered when a white Ford Mustang and a blue Honda Accord were caught on camera tearing down Del Prado Boulevard like they owned the road. Cops say these punks blasted off from Northeast Pine Island Road, leaving speed limits in the dust.
Meanwhile, William J. Garfall, minding his own business in his red Chevy Equinox, never stood a chance. He was just trying to turn into a shopping plaza when the Mustang—doing a cool 99 mph in a 45 zone—slammed into his SUV’s passenger side like a damn missile. The force sent the Mustang spiraling into another car before it finally stopped.
Garfall didn’t make it. As for the Honda’s driver? He bolted. Witnesses spotted the jerk pulling a cowardly U-turn, slowing for half a second near the wreck, then hightailing it outta there. Thankfully, someone with guts tailed the Honda long enough for cops to ID it.
Turns out both cars were screaming down the road at nearly double the speed limit.
Now, the culprits—18-year-old Milano Paolo Hlavina (Mustang maniac) and 19-year-old Jeremy Olivo (Honda hothead)—are staring down vehicular homicide charges. No surprise, given how often locals have griped about speed demons turning this stretch into their personal racetrack.
This one’s left the neighborhood reeling, and frankly? It’s about time someone paid for the chaos.
Remember — all parties are innocent unless proven guilty.
