Driver in Fatal MacArthur Causeway Lamborghini Crash Sentenced

The driver accused of speeding more than 100 miles an hour in his Lamborghini and plowing into an SUV, killing his passenger, has been sentenced to four years in prison.

Andres Toro will also serve one year of house arrest after that sentence, followed by five years of probation in connection with the crash that killed his friend, Dr. Malcolm Lloyd.

At Friday's hearing, Lloyd's widow wept as she talked about her husband's untimely death and addressed Toro.

"I know you didn't set out that evening to take my husband's life," Solange Lloyd said. "He was ripped away and now he's gone, in a flash, in a blink, in a breath."

The crash occurred on April 24 of last year on the MacArthur Causeway.

Toro is accused of rear-ending his Lamborghini into an SUV. Lloyd died on impact. The SUV driver was seriously injured but survived.

According to the arrest report, Toro's blood alcohol level was .20, almost three times the legal limit, and he was driving in excess of 100 miles an hour.

A judge rejected Toro's plea deal late last year, which was reportedly less than the mandatory four years in state prison.

Toro was facing a a maximum sentence of 21 years in prison, if convicted of all charges.

In court Friday, Toro spoke to Lloyd's window and two sons.

"I pray each and every one of you can one day forgive men, amen," he said.
