Tate was traveling east on US 192 approaching Dairy Rd when her vehicle crashed into a 34-year-old West Melbourne man riding a motorcycle. The force of the crash caused the motorcyclist’s helmet to come off, leaving him in the middle of the roadway with life threatening injuries.

Instead of remaining on scene or calling 911, Tate can be seen driving away with the motorcycle still attached to the front of her vehicle. Tate then pulled her vehicle into the parking lot of a local business in an attempt to hide. At one point, Tate attempted to remove the motorcycle from underneath her vehicle. She is then is seen talking on her phone before being picked up in a black sedan.
