BOYNTON BEACH, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2025 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — A Boynton Beach man is facing multiple felony charges, including Vehicular Homicide and DUI Manslaughter, following an investigation into a fatal crash that occurred in April. The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office announced the arrest of Dale Drotar, the driver of a 2019 Chevrolet Corvette, on October 22, 2025. In addition to the homicide and manslaughter charges, Drotar faces four counts of Reckless Driving and Causing Injuries to Another and Damages to Property, and four counts of DUI and Causing Injuries to Another and Damages to Property.
The crash, which occurred on April 6, 2025, resulted in the death of 25-year-old Natalie Pierre of Boynton Beach. The incident happened at approximately 10:02 p.m. at the intersection of Military Trail and Cedar Point Boulevard. Pierre was pronounced dead at the crash scene from injuries sustained in the collision. She was a passenger in a 2020 Toyota 4 Door driven by 30-year-old Anche Milien.
According to a statement provided to BocaNewsNow.com, Milien was traveling northbound on Military Trail and began turning left to travel westbound on Cedar Point Boulevard. Drotar was traveling southbound on Military Trail “at a very high rate of speed”. Investigators noted that the traffic signals for both drivers were displaying green lights when they entered the intersection. The front of Drotar’s Corvette subsequently impacted the right rear door area of Milien’s Toyota.
Investigators say that due to “extreme crash forces,” the Toyota was “ripped apart”. Pierre, the right rear passenger, was ejected from the vehicle; the report noted that “the whole seat and door areas had been removed”. Drotar, the driver of the Corvette, was transported to a local hospital for critical injuries. Milien, the driver of the Toyota, sustained minor injuries and was also transported for treatment.
