A woman was thrown into the air and killed after she was struck by a Cadillac Escalade while walking in the early morning hours in Miami.
Stefhany Reconco-Rosales, 26, originally of Honduras, was walking in an intersection of Northwest 32nd Avenue in Miami-Dade when Edwin Serrano, 46, struck her with his Escalade, which retails at a starting price of $88,000.
Surveillance footage, which was not released, showed the woman being catapulted into the roadway outside of 809 Miami Lounge, a club, around 5:30am on Sunday.
Serrano was seen slowing down before quickly fleeing the scene, according to NBC Miami.
Reconco-Rosales was found by first responders, who attempted CPR on the young woman, but it was unsuccessful.
She was placed in an ambulance and taken to Ryder Trauma Center, where she was pronounced dead at 6:07am, according to the Miami Herald.
Authorities located Serrano’s car in Miami around 2:30pm outside of a home on Northwest 58th Street.
It had damage that was consistent with striking Reconco-Rosales, the outlet reported.
The man turned himself in on Monday at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, the arrest report said.
He refused to talk with officers and asked for an attorney, according to NBC Miami.
Serrano was charged with leaving the scene of a crash.
Daily Mail has reached out to Miami-Dade Police Department for comment.
In May, another Florida woman, Ivana Gomez, 32, struck and killed a ‘homeless’ woman.
Ivana Gomez, 32, was speeding through Little Havana in her BMW while intoxicated in the early morning hours of May 30 when she allegedly struck 41-year-old Kathryn Kipnis before attempting to flee the scene.
Kipnis was hit with such force that her head shattered the windshield, leaving strands of hair embedded in car’s passenger seatbelt.
More than four months after the deadly crash, newly released bodycam footage revealed the moments following Gomez’s fatal strike – and her alleged chilling disregard for human life, according to NBC 6 Miami.
‘It was just a homeless person that I hit and it is just an accident,’ Gomez allegedly stated while being placed in the back of a cop car, according to the arrest report. It remains unclear why Gomez believed the victim was homeless.
