A Florida man who crashed his mom’s new Porsche, killing his friend in a fiery wreck, told police: ‘I have his blood on my hands.’
Zachary Kreusch, 21, allegedly lost control of the 718 Boxster while showing off its speed to his friend and passenger Dylan Astacio, according to a report.
The $75,000 vehicle plunged into a ditch, hit a tree and rolled over, trapping Astacio inside as it burst into flames, the Miami Herald reports.
Kreusch, of Winter Springs, managed to escape and dialed 911, telling operators his friend was, ‘stuck and not breathing’.
He has now been charged with vehicular homicide, after police said he took responsibility for the crash near White Tail Trail, east of Oviedo.

‘I think I just killed my friend,’ he is heard stating on the 911 call, a sentiment he repeated when a deputy arrived.
Kreusch reportedly apologize repeatedly and said: ‘I’m the reason he’s dead’.
When asked if he had been in the car with Astacio, he told the deputy: ‘Yes, I was. It was my fault. I’m the reason he’s f***ing dead,’ and ‘I have his blood on my hands,’ according to the police report.
An investigation revealed that Kreusch lost control after failing to negotiate a bend during the outing on May 16, 2023.
The Florida Highway Patrol determined that he had been driving in a ‘willful and reckless manner’ and has now charged Kreusch more than a year after the wreck.
Astacio’s devastated family paid tribute to the beloved Seminole State College student.
