Overview
- A preliminary Orlando Police report provided to the family identifies the police vehicle as the at-fault car and names the driver as 28-year-old Andrew McKuhen.
- A witness account, corroborated by video cited in the report, says the cruiser briefly activated its emergency lights, drove through a red light, and then turned the lights off.
- The collision occurred around 1:48 a.m. at S. Semoran Blvd. and Hoffner Avenue as a 2016 Jeep Patriot proceeded south through a green light.
- Milagros “Millie” Ortiz, 92, was taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center and died Monday from injuries sustained in the crash.
- Orlando Police acknowledged the investigation and declined to share further details or the officer’s work status, as Ortiz’s family retained legal counsel and pressed for accountability against a backdrop of prior OPD dangerous-driving cases.
