UPDATE: Paul Streater, the man behind the wheel in a deadly crash in Delray Beach in April, turned himself in Tuesday, officials say.
Streater was arrested for his role in the crash that killed two adults and two children, after a three-month investigation, according to a Delray Beach Police Department post on their Facebook page.
The crash happened on April 28 near South Federal Highway and Lamat Avenue.
Streater, 21, of Fort Lauderdale, turned himself in to police Tuesday evening following a warrant obtained for his arrest.
Investigators say Streater was driving his 2010 Chevy Silverado at more than 100 miles per hour when he rear-ended the Dodge Caravan.
The occupants of the van were a 50-year-old driver, Jorge Raschiotto of Argentina, his sister, 42-year-old Victoria Raschiotto of Mexico, and her two children, Diego, age 8, and Mia, age 6. All four were killed in the crash.
The victims were in Delray Beach vacationing with family and were returning to a rental home on Florida Boulevard after a day at the beach when the crash happened.
Toxicology tests on Streater’s blood revealed the presence of Difluoroethane, the main ingredient in Dust-off, a brand name of canned air commonly used to remove dust from electronics equipment, officials say.
According to investigators, a receipt from a Boynton Beach Walmart was found inside Streater's vehicle. The receipt shows the purchase of two cans of Dust Off on the afternoon of the crash.
Streater and his passenger, Tyler Fowler, were also seen in store video buying the cans and other items, just a few hours before the crash.
Streater is facing four counts of vehicular homicide, four counts of DUI manslaughter and three counts of DUI with property damage and/or injury.
He is being booked at the Palm Beach County Jail.
