A 19-year-old Sunny Isles Beach woman, Sofia Todorov, is facing vehicular homicide and reckless driving charges after crashing into a minivan on Interstate 595 in Davie in 2024, killing passenger Lorene Seeler Young, 65, a local attorney.
Court documents show Todorov was driving a Lexus at 124 mph just before the May 19 crash. Authorities allege she rear-ended the minivan while driving recklessly. Vehicle black box data confirmed the excessive speed.
Young’s children have filed a civil lawsuit against Todorov and her mother, who allegedly let her drive. The van’s surviving driver also claims ongoing injuries from the crash.
Todorov’s attorney contends she was cut off and applied the brakes. She was released on $65,000 bond and ordered to wear an ankle monitor.
