Couple Killed In Fiery Lake City Car Accident, Man Arrested


Posted on Nov 25, 2011

A Washington State man will likely face jail time after being involved in two fatal car accidents in two years. This week, authorities say the man ran a red light while speeding in Lake City, causing a crash and car fire that left a young couple dead.

 

According to the Seattle Times, 43-year-old Daniel Ray Habeeb was charged with vehicular homicide in 2009 after causing a Washington car accident that killed 65-year-old Susan Peek. Witnesses say that before the wreck the man was weaving in and out of traffic and speeding.

 

Less than two years later, Habeeb had his 10-year-old and 11-year-old daughters in his car while driving on Lake City Way Northeast. Police believe that he was speeding at 70 to 90 miles per hour when he ran a red light and crashed into a car carrying 26-year-old University of Washington graduate student Laura Sheard and her 33-year-old boyfriend, Kristopher Martin. Their car slid 100 yards before bursting into flames with the pair trapped inside.

 

Habeed was rushed to Harborview Medical Center, where he is in satisfactory condition. Because speeding and running a red light violated his probation, he will likely return to jail upon his release. He may also face new vehicular homicide charges following the investigation of the more recent fatal crash.

 

The Andrew Kim Law Firm has the two young car accident victims - as well as their friends and families - in our thoughts this week.
