DELTONA — Alisa Lee Montalvo, 47, of Deltona, was charged on May 22, 2026, with three counts of leaving the scene of a crash with death, three counts of vehicular homicide, one count of reckless driving causing serious bodily injury, and one count of tampering with evidence in connection with a fatal October 2025 crash on Interstate 4. She has been held at the Volusia County Branch Jail without bond since her arrest.

The crash occurred at approximately 9:53 p.m. on October 4, 2025, on eastbound Interstate 4 near DeBary. Montalvo was driving a maroon Dodge Durango that struck a motorcycle, causing it to leave the highway and hit a tree. The motorcyclist, Joaquin Deno of Deltona, was killed. After the initial impact, Montalvo’s Durango lost control, veered left, and hit a Ford Focus, which then struck the median guardrail, reentered the highway, and collided with a Honda Pilot. The occupants of the Honda Pilot—Flagler County deputy administrator Jorge Salinas and his wife, Nancy Salinas—also died in the crash.

Florida Highway Patrol Master Corporal Brian Gensler testified that Montalvo’s Durango was traveling at 112 mph before it hit the Ford Focus; the speed limit in the area was 70 mph. Investigators later found a puncture on the passenger side door of the Durango at a height consistent with a motorcycle handlebar impact. Following the crash, Montalvo left the scene and attempted to conceal evidence, according to a motion filed by Assistant State Attorney Michael Willard.

Montalvo paid a mechanic in Altamonte Springs to replace both driver’s side doors and a panel on her Durango and to install new tires. The mechanic told investigators that Montalvo had kept one of the removed airbags and taken photos before repairs, and that she told him she had hydroplaned and hit a guardrail. Court testimony revealed the replaced doors were a different color than the rest of the vehicle and bore a VIN indicating the parts came from a Durango in a Miami scrapyard. The Durango’s curtain airbag had been unbolted or removed, and the seat airbag was stuffed back into the seat. Although the vehicle was fully insured, Montalvo did not file an insurance claim.

On May 29, 2026, Circuit Judge A. Kathleen McNeilly ordered Montalvo held in pretrial detention without bond. Assistant Public Defender Alexis Vanessa Nava-Martinez had argued for bond, noting Montalvo’s three-decade residency in Volusia County, her employment, and that Lindsey Brooke Isaacs—who was initially arrested for the same crash but later cleared—had been granted a $250,000 bond. Judge McNeilly ruled that Isaacs’ bond status was irrelevant to Montalvo’s case.
