The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports 45-year-old Shana Soto turned herself in on Tuesday after a warrant was issued for her arrest. The incident occurred Nov. 2 as Soto was driving a Honda CR-V in the area of Harrison Street and South 20th Avenue at about 9 p.m. Investigators said she swerved to avoid a Hollywood Fire Rescue engine truck with its emergency lights flashing. Soto’s vehicle struck a curb before going onto a sidewalk and hitting a table outside The Bang Shack restaurant on South 20th Avenue.
Two women and one man who were sitting at the table were transported to Memorial Regional Hospital, where one of the women was treated for severe injuries. Soto was also hospitalized.
