A Florida teenager has been charged with the deaths of six people in a violent 151-mph crash in January, and new court documents reveal he posted a video on social media two weeks prior racing at 182 mph in his luxury BMW.
Noah Galle, 18, was charged formally Monday with six counts of vehicular homicide in connection with the Jan. 27 crash that killed six farm workers in Delray Beach, Palm Beach County State Attorney Dave Aronberg announced.
Each charge is a second-degree felony carrying a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison.
Galle struck the rear of a Nissan Rogue with six occupants on South State Road 7 shortly before 11 p.m., according to a probable cause affidavit. He was 17 years old at the time of the collision.
The Nissan Rogue’s occupants were leaving Pero Family Farms, where they worked, according to documents.
Galle’s vehicle hit the Nissan’s rear several feet forward into the passenger compartment, according to the affidavit.
The impact was so strong that the Nissan spun into the center median and began “flipping and rolling over before coming to a final rest (upside down) within the center median,” according to the affidavit.
Five of the car’s occupants were pronounced dead at the scene. The sixth passenger died at Delray Medical Center.
Mirlaine Innocent Julceus, 45, Remize Michel, 53, Marie Michelle Louis, 60, Michel Louis Saint, 77, Filaine Dieu, 46, and Vanice Percina, 29 were identified as the victims.
According to the affidavit, Galle’s Instagram handle did appear to be inscribed on the driver’s and passenger’s sides of his car.
The sheriff’s office got a tip about Galle’s Instagram and TikTok posts the day after the collision, “in which he recorded himself driving at extremely high rates of speed,” according to the affidavit.
