A Florida teen who allegedly drove his car at a speed of over 150 mph is facing multiple counts of vehicular homicide after crashing into an SUV, killing all six occupants.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office alleges 18-year-old Noah Galle — who was 17 years old at the time of the incident — was driving a BMW M5 down a Delray Beach, Fla., highway in January when he crashed into the back of a Nissan Rogue, causing it to flip multiple times.

The crash killed Mirlaine Julceus, 45; Filaine Dieu, 46; Vanice Percina, 29; Remize Michel, 53; Marie Louis, 61; and Michel Saint, 77.

Galle entered a plea of not guilty to all six charges of vehicular homicide, court documents show.

Florida teen accused of driving 151 mph in crash that killed 6 people

Noah Thomas Galle, 18, had a history of recording himself speeding through southeast Florida in a 2019 white BMW and later posting the videos on social media, a criminal affidavit states.

His Instagram handle was displayed on the car windows, and in at least one video, Galle offered $25 to anyone who could correctly guess his rate of speed, according to the report.

On Jan. 27, one of those stunts turned fatal, a Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office report states.

That evening, Galle, driving the BMW at 151 mph, struck the back of a 2018 gray Nissan Rogue, causing the SUV to flip multiple times before coming to a halt, according to the report.

1. How in hell did he survive?

2. I was wondering the same thing

[TreasonousBastard]

5. Seat belts work?

[Ferrets are Cool]

7. Probably airbags

3. What sort of parent gives a 17-year-old a BMW M5 worth over $100k?

[Nittersing]

4. I worked (hvac) in a wealthy school district...

The parking lots were full of cars nicer than anything I could afford

[Ferrets are Cool]

6. A rich privileged one.

8. A rich one. Who just wants the kid to stop whining.

[Tree-Hugger]

12. Many

I drop off my kid and pick him up at high school everyday. Many kids there drive BMW, Mercedes, Audis, Land Rovers, Teslas, etc. Meanwhile, we can't afford gas to drive a mile down the road.

9. "affluenza" defense? and I notice that he is carefully being referred to as a

"teenager" (technically correct) although legally an adult. Interesting how the media does that for (often rich) white males, but not POC. (and, of course, the "underage women" garbage).

10. Why do Instagram and TikTok allow these kinds of videos to be posted?

"His social media accounts were searched by the PBSO and uncovered videos and photographs showing the adolescent 'driving at extraordinarily high rates of speed,' with Galle even inviting followers to predict his speed for a chance to win $25, according to WPBF."

"Galle was caught on camera on social media driving at 181 mph on the I-95, according to deputies. According to court documents, Galle had previously been stopped by police for going 180 mph in Palm Beach County."

Youtube, Instagram and other social media sites are full of these types of videos posted by punks like Galle, celebrating and popularizing dangerous criminal behaviour.

11. A couple law suits will put an end to that.

If they don't make the changes preemptively that is.
