Update: Mother Killed on Buckman Bridge Laid to Rest

A local mother tragically killed in a hit-and-run crash on the Buckman Bridge on Saturday night was laid to rest today.

A funeral for Luma Kajy, 41, was held in Detroit, where her family is from.

The Florida Highway Patrol said Kajy was killed when another car hit her SUV, causing it to flip over and plummet 100 feet off the bridge and into the St. Johns River.

Troopers arrested the women SUV driver, 31, and charged her with DUI manslaughter and leaving the scene of an accident causing a death. She’s being held on $1 million bond and faces up to 30 years in prison.

This truly is tragic, but setting all emotion aside this suspect needs legal assistance. DUI manslaughter and leaving the scene of an accident warrants some very harsh punishment and she will get the maximum without a Jacksonville DUI attorney on here side.

If you have been arrested for drunk driving in Jacksonville we welcome you to contact our Duval County criminal defense lawyers for a free and confidential consultation. RIP Luma Kajy.
