PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. (Scripps News West Palm) — A Florida man is under arrest after authorities said he was speeding at 151 miles per hour and rear-ended a vehicle, killing all six people inside.
Noah Galle, 18, was arrested Wednesday on six counts of vehicular homicide for the Jan. 22 wreck.
According to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, Galle was driving a 2019 BMW M5 “at a high rate of speed” around 11 p.m. on U.S. Highway 441 in Palm Beach. He rear-ended a 2018 Nissan Rogue that had six people inside.
The impact caused the Rogue to head into a grass and dirt median where it flipped and rolled over before landing upside-down in the median.
