A Florida nurse is now facing serious charges more than a year after a devastating crash that killed three law enforcement officers and shook an entire community.
Authorities say 31-year-old Corrine Blue was arrested on April 30 and charged with three counts of vehicular homicide in connection to the November 21, 2024 crash in Palm Beach County.
The victims — Luis Paez Jr., Ignacio Dan Diaz, and Ralph Butch Waller — were stopped along Southern Boulevard with their motorcycles when they were struck and killed.
Investigators say Blue was behind the wheel of a Jeep Grand Cherokee and driving well above the posted speed limit at the time of the crash. According to the Florida Highway Patrol, she was traveling eastbound and attempted to pass a slower vehicle on the right when she veered into the officers.
The collision happened in broad daylight, around 9 a.m., just days before Thanksgiving.
Officials described the crash as the result of reckless driving, saying the deputies were simply doing their jobs when their lives were suddenly cut short.
According to reports, Blue told investigators she had just finished a 12-hour overnight shift and was heading home. She also said she had been working in an emergency room for the first time and was taking a route she wasn’t familiar with.
Still, prosecutors say the evidence led to charges being filed.
“These deputies were serving this community when their lives were tragically taken by a reckless driver,” State Attorney Alexcia Cox said in a statement, calling the charges a step toward justice for the victims’ families.
Officials across the state have continued to honor the fallen officers, describing them as heroes whose loss is still deeply felt.
