We wish to extend our deepest condolences to the family of Anthony Michael Lara. Impaired drivers continue to be a major source of serious and fatal accidents that occur in Florida every year. Drivers who choose to drive while under the influence will place everyone else on the roadway at risk of great bodily harm due to their negligent and irresponsible actions. In this crash, it appears as though Micah Jackson will be held legally responsible for the death of Anthony Lara.
