As a result of Sampson's reckless operation of the vehicle, four adults were killed and 13 other adults sustained injuries ranging from critical/life-threatening to minor. The victim count has increased from 15 to 17 victims, as two victims, after the initial release, self-transported to a local hospital.
FHP will identify the decedents pending the ongoing Next of Kin notifications. At the time of this release, the victims' status is as follows:
- Four (4) decedents
- Two (2) in critical condition
- Two (2) admitted and now discharged
- Two (2) treated on scene, not transported

At this time, there is no evidence to indicate that Sampson's actions were targeted toward any specific persons or businesses.
We ask that you continue to keep those affected, and those mourning the tragic loss of their loved one, in your thoughts as we continue to work in partnership with FHP to seek justice for the victims and their families.
This remains an active investigation. The Florida Highway Patrol is the lead agency in the traffic crash and will be providing the remaining updates in this incident.
Thank you to FHP and the State Attorney's Office for their ongoing efforts throughout this investigation.
