June 9, 2025: started as a glamorous Miami weekend turned tragic when 24-year-old New York influencer Macee Lathers became the center of a deadly crash that killed two people and injured several others. The incident, which occurred in August 2024, is now back in the headlines.

Authorities say Lathers was driving a white Mercedes-Benz through downtown Miami when she allegedly ran a red light, crashing into two other vehicles. The impact killed Abraham Ismael and Jesus Rubio, while another woman was critically injured. Lathers, who was driving with a suspended license, reportedly attempted to flee the scene but was stopped by bystanders (here).

The case took an unexpected twist when bodycam footage revealed Lathers appeared disoriented, claiming she had “time-traveled from the future” and owned a “crystal ball.” (here) First responders administered Narcan at the scene, and later toxicology reports showed ketamine and MDMA in her system—leading to upgraded DUI manslaughter charges.

She was initially released on bond under house arrest but has since been taken back into custody as the investigation deepens. Now facing 10 felony charges, including vehicular homicide and DUI manslaughter, Lathers’ once-polished online persona is being reexamined under a harsh public spotlight (here).
