Driver Charged In Accident Where Friends Killed

According to Florida Highway Patrol spokesman, Sgt. Steve Gaskins, Isaac Henry Baker, 24, was charged late Monday with two counts of vehicular homicide in an April 12th crash on Dale Mabry that left two men dead.

On the night of the accident, Troopers said Baker had picked up a group of people at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino. After leaving the Casino, troopers said, Baker stopped at a 7-11 Store and a strip club before he started dropping people off.

Baker, who was driving without a license, was driving his truck north in Carrollwood, south of Stall Road, with two passengers in the bed when he lost control.

The truck swerved to the left, hit the grass median, and overturned.

Neco Jones, 18, and Benjamin Fowler, 20, who were riding in the back of the truck, were ejected. Jones was hit by a second vehicle as he lay in the road and died at the scene. Fowler was pronounced dead later at a local hospital.

Three other passengers in the truck, Rosa Torres, 35, Elijah Bates, 22, and Allen Pitts, 22, received serious injuries, and a sixth passenger, Cary Davis, 35, received minor injuries.
