A 35-year-old driver has been charged with vehicular homicide in connection with an accident that claimed the life of a 28-year-old Boca Raton man several months ago.

The accident occurred July 16, 2025 at 10520 Sandalfoot Boulevard in unincorporated Boca Raton. The driver, John A. Adams, of Deerfield Beach, was behind the wheel of a 2024 Chevrolet Trax traveling westbound when his vehicle “drifted in a southwesterly direction, over the center continuous left turn lane, and partially into the eastbound lane,” an accident report provided to Boca Daily News said. His vehicle ultimately veered into the path of a man riding an e-scooter. That man, identified as Alexander Daniel Acevedo, 28, of Boca Raton, succumbed to injuries sustained in the crash and was pronounced dead at the scene.

According to the accident report, the e-scooter was broken into several pieces, most of which came to final rest northwest of the point of impact. The Chevrolet was brought to a controlled stop, half in the center left turn lane, and half in the eastbound through lane of Sandalfoot Boulevard, facing west.

Adams was charged with vehicular homicide and arrested Wednesday morning by detectives from the PBSO warrants division.
