The children were thrown out of the vehicle, police said, and investigators later found that Hayes “maneuvered aggressively through traffic shortly before the crash.” He drove at 78.9 km / hi a 40 km / h zone at that time, police say.
A fourth passenger in KIA was admitted to the hospital with serious injuries.
“The study concluded that Adarius Hayes’ irregular speed, aggressive and reckless lane changes and complete ignoring the surrounding traffic conditions demonstrated a intentional and deliberate ignoring of the safety of others, which constitutes a ruthless driving regard. These acts led directly to the tragic deaths of the three victims,” the Largo police said in a statement.

The Kia, police said, was “legal to perform a left turn” when Hayes’ vehicle “made a quick and dangerous maneuver” and crashed into the car.
Hayes performed in 12 games in his first year season at Miami. He was a four-star recruiter who came out of Largo High School and chose Miami after drawing interest from Florida, Florida State, Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, Notre Dame and Ohio State.
