Girlfriend faces vehicular homicide charge following boyfriend's final words
A man died in Flagler County months after a car crash, which investigators concluded was intentional. The man's girlfriend, Leigha Mumby, has been charged with vehicular homicide for allegedly speeding her vehicle over 90 mph into a tree while arguing with the man, Daniel Waterman. Waterman, critically injured in the crash, informed authorities from his hospital bed that Mumby deliberately caused the crash. Mumby was initially charged with reckless driving, aggravated battery, and causing serious injury. Unfortunately, after an extended hospitalization, Waterman passed away, prompting prosecutors to upgrade Mumby's charges to vehicular homicide. She was arrested this week but released on bail. John Hager, the Waterman family's attorney, stated that the evidence suggested the crash was not accidental, emphasizing that the vehicle had not slowed down prior to impact. Mumby, who was pregnant at the time of the crash, recently gave birth to Waterman's child. The family supports the new charges and sees it as a step towards justice.
