update: victim's partner sues ferrari owner (civil)
police have still not filed any charges
...
According to the civil complaint filed in Miami-Dade Circuit Court, Delgado called his wife, Patricia Verde, and she picked him up.
Verde, registered as a co-owner of the Ferrari, is named as a co-defendant in the civil suit.
Delgado was a frequent participant in regional sportscar competitions and was featured in a YouTube video driving a car called The Beast. As an advanced driver he took part in time trials and open driving groups, according to the National Auto Sport Association.
Not long before the crash, he had been named an instructor in the organization's high-performance driving school.

In a crash.....don't you stay at the crash site, render assistance if you can and wait for the police and ambulance to arrive?.....and not run away from the scene of the accident

Felony. Can't believe they haven't filed criminal charges yet.

Failure to blow is a statutory automatic loss of license in many States.

As to why in this case they haven't filed criminal charges: they have to be able to prove who was driving. You can't file criminal cahrges against the owner of the car if someone else was the driver.

IIRC, FL just changed the law on leaving the scene of an accident with injuries. I think its a year in jail, but not positive.
Cell phone towers will probably be used to place one of the owners in the car. -if not behind the wheel. -same for the pickup driver.
in the case of Ryan levin, he was able to settle a civil suit with the families of those he killed.
in this case civil settlement may not be enough, to avoid prison.
This CIVIL suit might give them access to the phone records/ tower pings.. and make the case for the SAO

It's bad enough to cause such a reckless accident but to flee the scene without seeing if anyone was hurt is unforgivable.
