Moments after one of the most horrifying car crashes, a father is on the verge of losing everything as his wife and two young children are brutally struck by a vehicle.

Next thing you know, I hear, boom, I see him flying. >> At around 8:30 p.m. on February 10th, 2025, officers respond to a car crash on US Route 301 in Sarasota, Florida, leaving an entire family in a deadly aftermath. >> Come on.

I know how to do it. >> The scene is gut-wrenching and needs immediate life-saving aid for all three victims, but the situation looks grim. >> I got agonal breathing. >> All right, get her in the truck. >> I got two more down. Seems to be like a teenage adult. One of the child victims showing a pulse is quickly taken to the paramedic's van while the female and the other child still require assistance. How old is she? She is she's 29. He is uh two months. >> Taylor, stay with me, baby. You hear me? >> Come on, Rio. >> Hey, stay with me. >> Oh my god. >> You're not getting Are they coming to grab him next? >> 29-year-old Taylor Bennett and 2-year-old Rio Gallagher are critically unresponsive while 5-month-old Kylin is being treated by the rescue team. While the father is devastated, the officers handle the couple's other daughter visibly distraught by the traumatic event. We are. What's your name? >> What is it? >> Ronnie. >> Oh, Ronnie. Nice to meet you. How about Zephrina? >> Nice to meet you. >> 91 K9 out on the crash. >> What are their names? >> Those near the crash are also shaken by the ferocious impact. >> So, did you see the people hit? >> I hear it.

Yes, >> did you guys see anything or just the aftermath? >> Big flag down right after it happened. >> I rolled up on it. Uh the there was a vehicle with uh emergency lights that stopped and I was like, "What's going on?" And then I saw everybody on the road and then I saw everybody there and the little girl was by herself. So I came to see what was going on >> and she didn't need to see any of that. So we get your information. >> Nobody's gotten any information yet. No. >> Pedestrians tell officers the crash was so violent that it shattered the windshield of the suspect's car. The distressed father goes into detail about how all this happened. >> Are you >> She dropped her phone over there, right? >> She said, "Baby, my phone." So, I see cars coming. I'm like, "Stop." You know, trying to stop it. Next thing I hear, boom, I see her flying. >> The father says he has another daughter waiting for them alone at home. >> Look, I got a daughter. She lives right over there across the street who's drinking. That shit's strong. But she has a daughter that's right across the street. She's in there. I need to go get I need to go get her. >> Okay, we're we'll call her and I'll send an officer over there. I'm going to need you to hang out here for a second. Okay. >> I need I need to She We don't We're never gone more than 2 minutes. >> See what I'm saying? She's She said this. I got >> your daughter. >> Yeah, right here. >> Is this your daughter also? >> This is my daughter, too. That's That's my wife. >> My address is right here. Uniting Donsil with his daughters seems necessary for him to think straight. He's assisted to his home where his daughter is unaware of a major imminent tragedy. >> Here you go, sir. >> We're going to walk back over. Okay. >> What's your name, dear? >> What's your name, baby? Tell me your name. >> Lonnie. >> What is it? >> Lonnie. >> Oh, beautiful name. [crying] >> Mama Rio. >> Hey, it's okay. >> Hey, sir. We'll we'll we'll tell him to Everything's okay. >> Listen.

Okay. >> Yeah, they're they're just getting looked at. >> Listen, they're getting looked at. Okay. But they got It's okay, baby. Listen. >> Do you want have shoes for her? >> Yes. Hold on. Wait, baby. Hold on. >> Hey, girls. Bring out here. Hey, sweetheart. [screaming] >> It's okay. It's okay. >> It's okay. >> It's okay. already got a couple witnesses arriving actually. Put your shoes on. >> Okay. >> I don't uh uh I don't know. I got to get a phone. >> The baby's okay, baby. It's okay. Come here. Unfortunately, the couple's youngest child, Kylin, passes away at the scene while Taylor and Rio, remain under intensive care. >> I understand. I understand, sir. Sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir. We got to let the guys do what they got to do. Okay. >> Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. >> Okay. Breathing. >> Is he breathing? >> I see his chest rising and falling. >> He got trouble.

I wish that I could have helped as much as I could anything I could. Okay, man. It's going to Hey, you're going to be all right. >> All right. It's going to be all right. God God's going to look out. All right. All right, man. You are you you good, though, right? >> Amid the heart-wrenching conditions, detectives are determined to catch the person behind the wheel. They need full clarity on what happened, who did this, and the main concern. Was this an accident or is foul play involved? Before anything else, officers first need to hear from Donzel himself about what he witnessed. >> Were you with them when it happened? >> Yes. Yeah, we walking across the street. I went to the store and my girl was like, "Oh, baby, I dropped my phone." I'm like, "Okay." So, I I'm got over here. I'm like, "I'm not trying to stop the cars." Makes you know I hear boom. >> I just don't understand why she I don't understand. We need Do they got cameras around here? >> Yeah. Well, well, yeah, they have cameras. Are you Did you see the vehicle? >> They must have kept going. They kept going. >> I don't know. Next. >> I don't know. obvious once I see I seen him flying and that was it. And I ran over there and so I and I forgot I see Rio Wayne so I grabbed Rio >> and then I took uh my son was in like a little uh carrier thing with his wife, you know, my wife. So I buck with him. >> I gave him some gave Rio to someone so they could run and I grabbed Taylor. >> All right. Danzelle fails to provide critical details that can help officers, which also makes detectives suspect if this was done intentionally by him. >> Secondly, another female driver present on the scene is under suspicion for detail in her statement that doesn't add up. >> I said I didn't hit them and you said you hit one of them. >> I don't remember one of them. >> Gotcha. The people over in the curb said I hit somebody. I didn't hit anybody. All the mess was already in the road. >> I understand. >> So you never saw the crash. Initial crash. >> I didn't No, I didn't see anything like that. >> Okay. >> And I saw the stroller. >> Yeah. >> And I was going to straddle the stroller and then realize, >> well, I probably So I got over the stroller and it started dragging it. >> Mhm. So, I stopped and I backed up. >> Right in the same lane that you're in now. >> Yeah. >> The lady claims she only hit a stroller, but it is shady for the cops that she has nothing solid to offer. Officers must act quickly on potential witness accounts as amid the chaos, they risk leads being tampered with. >> Did you see the car that hit him? >> I did not see it. >> I got you. Did you talk to anybody? I only spoke to um and he said the car did kind of slow downish kind of stopish a little bit and then drove off. >> Yeah, but you didn't see that. >> I didn't see that but I did hear like >> the taking off sound. >> You did? >> The sound I heard but I was looking the other direction looking at the people who was who was hit was already lying on the ground. >> According to those present, the clash was so sudden and gruesome that they could not catch the minute details. But the officer's search soon leads them to one crucial witness with valuable new information. >> I hear the sound and then by the time that I take a look at like what's going on, right? Um I just saw like a silver Sudan car that hit like two people. So, by the time that I heard the sound, I heard the sound and then by the time that I take a look at the sound, I took a look at the like what's going on, what was going on, I saw this other lady, which was the one that was laying by the road. She was like on the screen, right? Like the windscreen, >> I don't know, >> of the vehicle. Yeah. Windscreen. Windshield. >> Yeah. Windshield. Yep. Windshield >> of the of this car. >> Yeah. Of the car, which is the silver one, right? >> You saw this female on top of the silver car. Where do you think exactly that was when you saw >> over there? >> Right there where the pink blanket is maybe. Okay. Then what happened? >> So, and then uh I was just kind of like trying to look at the like is she okay? Just a second after that's when he drove off. I didn't even take a look at the car like which model is it? But it's a silver sedan like a four-door Sudan. >> Do you remember seeing anybody behind the wheel? >> No. It's just like boom. And I mean, where did he go? >> Cops established from other pedestrians that the vehicle in question is a white or silver Lexus, but beyond that, no one saw the driver. Tragically, on the way to the hospital, Rio also succumbs to his injuries, marking the second death count in the crash, while Taylor goes into a coma. So far, officers have nothing of value to proceed. The only hope they have left is the CCTV from the nearby convenience store. >> Um, I was hoping we could maybe get a manager called in or something if we can look at your guys' uh video footage to see if you guys captured anything that happened out there. >> Yeah, I called him already to [music] call them back. >> Yeah, if you just give him a call. >> But the CCTV is not all the store helps with as the cashier is able to provide the officers with some details they were not expecting. >> Dude seemed kind of upset that they had to be up here tonight. I got a feeling he was rushing them to get out of here and she was probably just tired of this. >> Who? The lady. >> What lady >> from the accident? >> Yeah. >> Did she Who was she? Do you know her? >> She was in here. >> They're our customers. >> They were in here. Uh >> they were just in here >> and then tell me what happened. They left and that's I look outside and I see him out there cradling her and that's when I walk out there. >> He was kind of agitated that >> who was agitated >> the husband or the boyfriend or whoever. >> It seems like like I know them both. They both come in here >> regularly. >> regularly separately uh together. >> And uh he seemed to be upset that she was up here talking to me when I have to deal with her cuz she's a customer. >> Mhm. >> He seemed to have uh gotten upset that it was taking so long. Um, maybe he felt like I was trying to keep them here too long or something and he he seemed annoyed, >> like he was in a hurry to leave. >> Like he was in a hurry to leave. >> Okay. >> According to the cashier, Danzelle seemed upset at his wife, but only the surveillance footage can confirm if officer suspicions are accurate. >> This one or would you want this one? Uh, I think this one is probably going to be the one that we're going to want to see first, possibly. >> And then I may or may not need to see inside the store right beforehand cuz they were inside the store and then they walked out. I'm assuming they would have walked right across here. >> It's a little too fast. >> Okay. >> Oh, there they go. Right there. >> All right. Let me just get the frames down. Several things come to light in the CCTV footage, which first clears the female driver of suspicion as she is seen arriving at the scene after the accident. Danzelle is also ruled out as he was distant enough from Taylor to have not intentionally caused harm. But unfortunately, the footage is not clear enough to give details about the white Lexus. Outside, Dunzel walks officers through [music] the scene, where everybody was and how they were hit. >> We get right here. You know, Taylor walks around. I I jump off the car. Maybe that's why she was out so far. >> So, she brought she was pushing the stroller. >> So, and I'm right here and we're walking. You know, we're talking normally just like this in an angle. Yep. >> Wait, Ronnie's right there. I'm like, "Ronnie, get over here." So, I go grab Ronnie. That's why I hear boom. So, I stop. So, you're there. She is. >> She's like probably like I'm walking. You tell me where like I don't know. I mean right here. I think it's that I don't know. >> Is she over here? >> No, she was like she was she couldn't be No, she couldn't be in that lane. She was she had to be at least at least like right She wasn't that far. Like right here maybe >> at least where she was like right here somewhere. Okay. And then so I'm like I come back I I come back and I'm trying to get the phone and next thing you know I hear boom and I turn around and that's when I see and that's when I go running. >> Officers are still short on leads but a mere coincidence soon turns into nothing less than a jackpot for both Danzelle [music] and the officers. >> What do you mean? >> How did how does he got a video? Did he he didn't show the cop? Do you got his number? Is that okay? >> Okay. That black guy that was here. >> Yeah. >> There was a black guy that was standing here, >> right? I You were talking to him. >> Yeah. I gave him my grandma. I didn't even know him. So, I gave him my grandmother's number. >> And my This is my grandma. What? Okay. Grandma, this is the officer. What did he say exactly? >> He said that he had a video. >> Okay. So, what was that number he called you from? We need that number right now. Wait, his name was What? >> Hold on. What was his name? >> Tyrone. Tyrone. >> Tyrone. M >> Tyrone man M A N >> A massive breakthrough [music] arrives from Donsel's grandmother who reveals that one of the pedestrians from the crime scene Tyrone seems to have a video of the crash. Cops are unsure why he didn't come forward previously. Still, they [music] contact Tyrone immediately and the video evidence proves vital to the case showing the license plate of the car. The ownership leads to a 72-year-old June Fenton, a nearby resident and the person behind wheels. When officers move to speak to her, what she remembers from the night is shocking on so many levels. >> Out of the blue, it was like um on my windshield and it's like it was I'll never forget that sound. And then then I felt bad. So I turned around to see if the dog was alive >> cuz even Michigan, wherever I go, I um go back and see when animals are, you know, roadkill or whatever. >> And then I didn't see them on my side of the road and then I saw people on the other side. So I thought, okay, they're going to um they're going to if the dog is there, they'll pick them up or whatever. But um and then home and my car I parked it in there and I'm getting some tile work done. >> So she has in there doing the shower. So >> Oh, gotcha. Okay. >> And I haven't moved it since I came in. The windshield is on this. I haven't backed it out at all. >> Is that right? Okay. You mind if I just see the damage? Okay. >> Should I report when I hit? Should I report it? >> It's always good to report it. Always. Feel free. >> Thank you very much. Oh, please. >> June insists she believes she had only struck a dog and not three humans, but her story doesn't hold much weight when officers check the physical evidence. I was going south, I guess. And I was trying to figure out a fruit bill or make a U-turn because I need to get back. >> Yeah. Do you remember where you made a U-turn at? >> No. >> No. >> Just the next one. >> Next one. >> Yeah. >> Like was it a traffic light? >> No, I don't think so. >> No. It's like boom. And so then I just came back around and I thought because when I was in the car and I'm just driving along and this has gotten worse. This was not like that. >> June Fenton is charged with two counts of leaving the scene of the crash that led to death [music] and one count of leaving the scene that caused serious injury. However, on April 11th, 2025, [music] 2 months after the collision, Taylor Bennett also loses her life following her traumatic brain injury. As a result, the charges for June are upgraded as all [music] three die from their injuries. June pleads not guilty to the charges and is granted [music] $650,000 bond. Her case is still underway in court until further developments.
