A June 30 crash on International Speedway Boulevard in DeLand led to the arrest of 27-year-old Jamal Anthony Riascos after authorities said a Honda Civic struck a Volusia County fire truck and continued away from the scene.
The incident began around 4 p.m. on International Speedway Boulevard south of Indian Lake Road. Troopers were already in the area for a separate rollover crash involving a 44-year-old man from Miami, and Volusia County Fire Rescue had responded to that scene. Authorities said a roadblock was in place when the 2020 Honda Civic allegedly did not stop and hit Volusia County Fire Truck 15.
After the fire truck was struck, law enforcement followed the Civic along International Speedway Boulevard. The pursuit ended near the intersection with Amelia Avenue in DeLand, where authorities said the car left the roadway and hit a pole. Reports from the scene indicated the collision caused major damage to the Civic.
Officials identified the driver as Riascos. Authorities said he attempted to leave the area on foot after the pole crash but was apprehended by a trooper and taken into custody. He was hospitalized at last report, though officials did not publicly describe the extent of any injuries. No firefighters were reported injured in the fire truck collision.
Authorities also said two passengers were let out of the Civic during the sequence of events, and at least one passenger was arrested. Troopers said Riascos was expected to face charges including leaving the scene of a crash involving property damage, reckless driving, resisting without violence, and violation of probation. Additional details about the separate rollover crash, including the Miami man’s condition, were not provided in the available reports.
The Florida Highway Patrol and local authorities are expected to document the crashes, vehicle damage, statements, and any enforcement actions in their official reports. Those records may help clarify the timeline, the condition of the people involved, and how the International Speedway Boulevard incidents unfolded.
