Police – NBC 6 South Florida

A self-proclaimed social media model is now facing four new charges. She is accused of driving under the influence of a substance called “pink cocaine” and causing a fatal car crash that left two people dead.

Last week, 24-year-old Maecee Marie Lathers was arrested and charged with eight counts, including driving without a license and vehicular manslaughter.

However, a week later, the public prosecutor's office charged the woman with two counts of negligent manslaughter and two counts of reckless driving. She is accused of a total of 12 charges.

Police found Lathers vomiting in downtown Miami on August 10, minutes after she drove her white Mercedes into a black Range Rover and a silver Suzuki, killing two people, according to a police report. One of the two had to be extricated but died at the hospital. The other victim was killed at the scene.

On a GoFundMe page, Juanita Hernandez said she was hit by a reckless driver and lost her partner, Abraham Ismael – and her 16-year-old son is now fatherless.

“She is an absolute danger to the community because her driving caused the deaths of two people when she should not have been in the car,” Judge Mindy S. Glazer said during Lather's first appearance in bail court.

Records also show that Lathers attempted to leave the scene of the accident without helping or calling 911, but was stopped by passersby.

Thursday's new charges stem from a search warrant for the white Mercedes Lathers was driving.

Records show that Lathers was traveling at approximately 57 mph with the accelerator pedal at 100 percent five seconds before the crash. Records show the car then accelerated to 78 mph when it struck another vehicle.

Lathers is allowed to leave prison but must be placed under house arrest.

Once her toxicology report is available, prosecutors said additional charges could be filed.
