Florida Man's Last Words Spark Investigation into Fatal Crash

A young father-to-be from Florida regained consciousness after a serious car crash — just long enough to make a statement to the police. He then sadly passed away, leaving investigators to look into the claims that he made against his pregnant girlfriend, per the New York Post. Crash Follows Super Bowl Night Argument on Florida Highway Daniel Waterman, a 22-year-old originally from the Syracuse area in New York, had been riding in the passenger seat while his girlfriend, 24-year-old Leigha Mumby, was behind the wheel.

The couple were driving along Interstate 95 in Flagler County, Florida, on Super Bowl Sunday this past February when tensions reportedly erupted into a fight. According to court documents, Waterman later told authorities that the argument turned especially dark when Mumby allegedly said: “I don’t care what happens. You’ll get what you deserve,” moments before allegedly crashing the car into a tree.

Both sustained serious injuries in the wreck. Waterman was left in a coma, while Mumby — who was pregnant at the time — also suffered injuries but survived. Her unborn baby made it through the crash and has since been born.
