FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — A South Florida man has been charged in a drunken driving crash that left his 3-year-old daughter dead.
The Sun Sentinel reports that 29-year-old Ryan Basdeo was arrested Tuesday and charged with vehicular homicide and several DUI counts.
Authorities say Basdeo was traveling 60 mph in a 25 mph zone in Miramar in October 2016 when he lost control and hit a guardrail and two trees.
Basdeo, his wife and their daughter were all hospitalized, but the little girl, Sophia, died the next day.
A defense attorney said during a bond hearing that Basdeo is not a violent criminal and has no other significant criminal record.
Basdeo was being held on $111,000 bail.
