Florida Woman Charged With Vehicular Homicide After Boyfriend Dies Months After Crash

Prosecutors say evidence indicates the wreck was intentional.

Overview

  • Flagler County prosecutors added a vehicular homicide count after Daniel Waterman died on Oct. 8 from injuries suffered in a February crash.
  • Leigha Mumby was booked this week and released after posting a $150,000 bond, according to jail records.
  • Investigators say the couple argued during Super Bowl weekend before Mumby allegedly accelerated to more than 90 mph and struck a tree, with a family attorney saying data showed no braking.
  • From his hospital bed, Waterman told troopers that Mumby caused the crash after saying, "I don't care what happens. You'll get what you deserve," according to case records.
  • Mumby was first arrested in July on charges including reckless driving and aggravated battery and pleaded not guilty, while Waterman’s family now seeks custody of the newborn pending paternity testing.
