VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. – A woman accused of causing a triple-fatal hit-and-run crash on Interstate 4 had her arraignment postponed Thursday after prosecutors revealed new evidence had emerged in the case.
Lindsey Brooke Isaacs, 23, is accused of causing the hit-and-run crash on I-4 near DeBary that killed a Flagler County deputy administrator, his wife and a motorcyclist in October. She faces charges of leaving the scene of a deadly crash and several counts of vehicular homicide — and could face life in prison if convicted.
Isaacs did not appear for her scheduled arraignment. She has been out on bond for two weeks after the state said it lacked sufficient evidence to keep her jailed before trial. The State Attorney’s Office has not yet formally charged her in the case.
Prosecutors say there is new evidence, but declined to say what it was.
Florida Highway Patrol troopers say Isaacs was driving a Dodge Durango when she sideswiped a car, struck a motorcycle and set off a chain reaction. Her attorney, Patrick McGeehan, posted a video to social media following her release from custody.
“Major development in the case that doesn’t usually happen and is completely out of the ordinary,” McGeehan said in the video. “We maintain her innocence. We have fought back and pushed back against the FHP and the state.”
News 6 asked FHP whether investigators are still actively working the case and whether another driver could be responsible for the deaths. In a statement, the agency said:
“This case involved three fatalities, and cases such as these are incredibly complex, requiring reconstruction and countless hours of investigation to confirm or rule out potential leads. If the involvement of another vehicle and/or person is identified at a future time, an update will be provided.”
Isaacs is due back in court in three weeks.
