HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. — The suspect in the Ybor City crash on Saturday is now facing six additional felony charges.
Silas Sampson, 22, faces three counts of fleeing to elude high-speed serious bodily injury and three counts of reckless driving with serious bodily injury.
Sampson was initially charged with four counts of vehicular homicide after his vehicle plowed into a crowd of people at Bradley's on 7th Avenue, a popular establishment in the historic Ybor City district.
13 other people were injured, and four people died.
