Wealthy Florida teen rolled his BMW, killing six buddies at 151mph

A rich Florida teenager who boasted on TikTok about driving down highways was charged Tuesday with six counts of vehicular homicide after police said he killed six companions when his BMW collided with their SUV at 151 mph.

According to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO), Noah Galle, 18, of Wellington admitted to speeding ‘above 120 mph’ during the January 27 crash in Delray Beach that killed Mirlaine Julceus, 45, Filaine Dieu, 46, Vanice Percina, 29, Remize Michel, 53, and Marie Louis on their way home from work at the Pero Family Farms.

According to WPBF, the PBSO stated a search warrant of Galle’s social media accounts showed videos and photographs showing the adolescent ‘driving at extraordinarily high speeds.’ He even asked followers to predict his speed for a chance to win $25.

These Instagram and TikTok accounts have been deactivated.

According to deputies, one video posted on social media showed Galle traveling at 181 mph on the I-95. Galle had previously been stopped by police in Palm Beach County for driving 180 mph, according to court documents.

Galle, then 17, smashed his $100,000 BMW into the victims on January 27, police said. The SUV rolled over, sending three of the occupants flying from the vehicle.

Five of the victims died on the spot, while one died en route to the hospital. Galle was barely slightly injured.

After months of inquiry, the adolescent was apprehended on April 6 and returned to court on Tuesday, where he was charged with six charges of vehicular manslaughter, each of which carries a 15-year jail term.

A court imposed bail at $300,000, or $50,000 for each count. Galle will face adult court while being kept in a juvenile prison camp.

‘Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the six innocent victims in this tragedy,’ State Attorney Dave Aronberg said in a statement.

‘We will forcefully prosecute this lawsuit in order to obtain justice.’

Palm Beach Sheriff Ric Bradshaw declined to explain why the investigation took so long when police arrested Galle earlier this month, despite the fact that the department had expedited the toxicology testing due to police belief that the adolescent was inebriated at the time of the collision.

‘This process is lengthy, and we cannot rush it,’ Bradshaw explained. ‘We only have one chance here to get this properly. If we make a mistake and these individuals walk, it will reflect poorly on us and is contrary to what the family and community anticipate.’
