MARION OAKS –\u00a0<\/strong>Family members of a victim who lost her life in a fatal Marion Oaks crash in\u00a0April revisited the spot where the horrific events unfolded to place a memorial marker in memory of their loved one.<\/p>\n

17-year-old Charisma Francisco tragically lost her life while riding in a vehicle with her uncle, 19-year-old Ethan Ruiz on April 14th, 2016.<\/p>\n

According to witnesses, Ruiz was reportedly driving recklessly at a high speed down Marion Oaks Boulevard when he lost control of his vehicle just passed southeast 145th Street.<\/p>\n

The vehicle spun off of the road and struck a concrete utility pole on the passenger side where Francisco was sitting.<\/p>\n

Francisco was declared deceased at the scene by paramedics. Ruiz was transported to a local ORMC by a Shands AirCare helicopter.<\/p>\n

Ruiz spent several months in the hospital in serious condition. He was later charged with vehicular manslaughter<\/a><\/strong> following the results of a Florida Highway Patrol investigation.<\/p>\n

The memorial marker will serve as a reminder of\u00a0loved teen whose life was lost too soon as well as a warning to all that drive that route to drive safely.<\/p>\n
