    Triple fatality crash fugitive arrested after illegal passing attempt in Florida

    Published:

    The Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) arrested a man wanted on multiple counts of vehicular homicide for a 2024 crash that killed three people.

    On October 29, 2026, FHP’s Criminal Alien Apprehension Team (CAAT) arrested Jean S. Dorisca, 48, during a targeted enforcement operation after he was located the day before at a residence in Boca Raton.

    Dorisca was named a most wanted fugitive by FHP after evading arrest for more than two years on a felony warrant for three counts of vehicular homicide out of Osceola County.

    According to FHP, the crash occurred on July 16, 2024, on State Road 60 near the Polk-Osceola County line when “Dorisca allegedly attempted to pass a semi-truck in a designated no-passing zone and collided with oncoming traffic, resulting in the deaths of three motorists.”

    One of the people killed in the crash was Dorisca’s mother.

    “For more than two years, this fugitive evaded accountability for a crash that claimed the lives of three innocent motorists. Thanks to the relentless work of our Criminal Alien Apprehension Team, Jean Dorisca has been taken into custody and will now face the criminal charges associated with this tragic crash,” said Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) Executive Director Dave Kerner.“This arrest reflects FHP’s unwavering commitment to protecting Florida’s communities by locating and apprehending dangerous fugitives who threaten public safety and attempt to evade justice.”

    Dorisca was booked into the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office Detention Center for the felony warrant. He awaits extradition to Osceola County.

    Dorisca faces up to 45 years in prison.

    Dorisca is a Haitian national and lawful permanent resident of the United States but could face revocation of his legal status as a permanent resident of the United States.
