Hialeah Man Charged Vehicular Homicide After Fatal High-Speed Head-On Crash

Kevin Brito Rios, a 21-year-old Miami Dade College student, has been charged with vehicular homicide following a deadly head-on collision in Hialeah. Police clocked Brito Rios driving a 2022 Toyota Supra at 80 mph in a 30 mph zone, dangerously weaving through traffic and entering oncoming lanes before colliding with another vehicle. The crash occurred near West 20th Avenue and West 76th Street, killing the other driver who was hospitalized with severe injuries and pronounced dead the following day, while a passenger survived with facial fractures. During a bond hearing, the judge rejected the defense's claim of Brito Rios being law-abiding, citing his reckless driving and the fatal outcome. Brito Rios remained at the scene after the crash and was arrested at his apartment days later, currently held at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. Vehicle data from the collision indicated Brito Rios was traveling at a minimum of 54 mph in a 35 mph zone at impact, underscoring the severity of the reckless driving charge.
