Dianz Pierre Obituary
The 4-year-old boy injured in a traffic crash Sunday afternoon died of his injuries late Monday night, according to the boy's uncle Miguel Cruz.
Dianz Miguel Pierre had been on life support at St. Mary's Medical Center after the accident, Cruz said.
Dianz was wearing a seat belt in the back of a Mazda when the car got caught in a pileup involving at least 10 other vehicles on Interstate 95 north of 45th Street.
His mother and her boyfriend and his 7-year-old and 1-year-old children were bruised in the crash but are no longer hospitalized.
No charges have been filed, but the investigation is continuing, according to Florida Highway Patrol.
The wrecks began when Daniel Potter, 27, failed to stop his Ford sport utility vehicle in traffic that was stalled for another crash.
Potter's vehicle struck a Chevrolet sport utility vehicle, then smashed into a Lexus, then swerved into the Mazda carrying Dianz, pushing it into a tractor-trailer and another Ford sport utility vehicle.
"The child was seated and restrained, but they were hit by a huge SUV and off on the side was an SUV and a truck in front of them. So there was nowhere to go when the SUV hit them directly in the rear," Florida Highway Patrol Lt. Tim Frith said.
Dianz was wearing a seat belt, which is permitted for 4-year-olds under Florida law as long as the belt fits properly, Frith said.
