Orlando Man Arrested For Crash Killing Family Of 3 Two Years After Accident

Two years after the fact, investigators in Florida have arrested a man suspected of causing a crash that killed a family of three on their way to Walt Disney World for their daughter's first birthday.

Florida Highway Patrol spokeswoman Kim Montes says in a news release that 26-year-old James Geoffrey Dameron, of Orlando, was taken into custody Tuesday following a traffic stop in Palm Beach County.

Montes says troopers received a tip Monday that led to Dameron's arrest.

Investigators have been searching for him since the September 2015 crash that killed 23-year-old Thomas Garza, 20-year-old Lillian Luna and their daughter Brianna, all from Moultrie, Georgia. 

Dameron was driving on a suspended license. At the time, Dameron said he was able to crawl out the back of his car. He was taken to South Lake Hospital in Clermont after suffering minor injuries.

He faces multiple charges, including vehicular homicide. His case is now part of a criminal investigation. 

Records don't indicate whether he has a lawyer.
