Man was driving 92 mph in 35-mph zone before he killed pregnant woman, cops say

A North Lauderdale man was speeding nearly 60 mph faster than the limit before a crash that killed a pregnant woman over the Labor Day holiday weekend in Oakland Park, investigators say.

The Broward Sheriff’s Office released details of the arrest of Neckson Faustin this week.

Faustin, 27, turned himself in to BSO detectives last month and faces charges of vehicular homicide, four counts of reckless driving, driving while license suspended and violation of probation.

The crash happened shortly before 11 p.m. on Sept. 7. Investigators say Faustin was driving a 2019 Toyota Corolla westbound on East Oakland Park Boulevard in the center lane, approaching the intersection of North Dixie Highway.

A 2006 Chevrolet Impala heading eastbound on East Oakland Park Boulevard tried to turn left into the northbound lane of North Dixie Highway when the front of Faustin’s speeding car collided with the passenger side of the Impala causing both vehicles to rotate, detectives say.
