2 people charged with street racing in Orange County accident that caused woman’s death, according to FHP

In Orange County, Florida, two men have been taken into custody in relation to a fatal street-racing incident in 2023 that resulted in the death of a woman, as confirmed by the Florida Highway Patrol.

Jose David Gomez Urban, aged 22, and Diego Andres Victoriano Abreu, aged 21, are being charged with vehicular homicide following the crash that occurred on June 17, 2023. The arrest warrants detail their involvement in the incident.

Urban was driving a Toyota MR2 and allegedly engaged in a race with Abreu, who was operating a Mini Cooper, on J. Lawson Boulevard. The Toyota, heading north and nearing the intersection of South Boggy Creek Road, failed to navigate a left curve, veered off the road to the right, and collided with a palm tree in the median, according to the FHP report. Shortly after, Abreu returned to the crash site, according to troopers.

Urban and his passenger, identified as Lindsey Delgado, were both trapped in the Toyota and had to be extricated, troopers said. Delgado was hospitalized in critical condition and later died on June 21, 2023, according to the affidavits.

Video footage from nearby reportedly showed the Toyota and the Mini Cooper traveling at a high rate of speed toward the crash site. The case eventually went cold until January 2025, when it was reassigned to another investigator who would eventually pinpoint the alleged criminal negligence of Urban and Abreu in the fatal crash.

The roadway where the crash occurred is a 40-mph zone, the affidavits state, adding it was determined that Urban and Abreu were traveling between 92 and 100 mph when the wreck happened.

Come late February, investigators had spoken with at least three witnesses who reported what they saw that night. One said that they saw Abreu make a quick U-turn and overheard bystanders claiming he and Urban racing moments before the crash, another said that they observed both vehicles pass them at a high rate of speed and the third witness said the same, thing adding they soon “pulled up to the crash scene and observed a cloud of smoke ahead.”

Urban and Abreu were booked Thursday and are being held on no bond in Orange County. They’re expected to make their first appearances in court on Friday.
