Teen driver who ran from fatal Alligator Alley crash didn’t have valid license, records show

An 18-year-old driver who ran away from a fatal crash on Alligator Alley does not have a valid license and was caught swapping seats with a passenger when he was pulled over last year, records show.

No one has yet been charged in relation to Wednesday’s early morning crash that flipped an SUV carrying seven people and killed a 9-year-old girl.

Carlos Geovany Gutierrez, of Miami, according to Florida Highway Patrol, was one of two drivers who may have caused the crash by drag racing. Both then ran away from the scene, troopers say.

Gutierrez was driving a 2013 Infiniti and Jeraisy Perez, 17, of North Miami was driving a Nissan when the crash happened about 3:30 a.m., according to the FHP.
