Woman Arrested, Charged in 2024 Crash That Killed Three Palm Beach Deputies

The arrest signals a shift from investigation to court after a probe found unsafe high-speed driving.

Overview

  • The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said it arrested Corrinne Adrianna Blue, 32, on three counts of vehicular homicide in the deputies' deaths.
  • Prosecutors brought the case after a Florida Highway Patrol probe found she drove a Jeep Grand Cherokee unsafely and well above the 55 mph limit.
  • The crash on Southern Boulevard in November 2024 hit motormen stopped about a half mile west of Lion Country Safari, killing Corporal Luis Paez Jr. and Deputy Ralph “Butch” Waller that day and Deputy Ignacio “Dan” Diaz four days later.
  • Investigators said she changed lanes to pass a slower vehicle before striking the deputies' motorcycles.
  • Officials said a felony warrant was obtained and the case now moves into court, with Blue awaiting a bond hearing at the main jail.
