Episode Details

A tragic wrong-way crash on Florida’s Turnpike claimed the life of 23-year-old Ezekiel Urrutia, a future paramedic and firefighter, after his vehicle was struck head-on by Sunshine Perez, who was speeding over 100 mph while intoxicated. His family now sues the Florida Department of Transportation, alleging a critical wrong-way detection system failed to activate, allowing Perez to drive two miles before impact. With Perez sentenced to 20 years, the family seeks accountability and aims to turn their grief into change—establishing scholarships in Ezekiel’s name to honor his legacy and push for safer roads.
