| By the time Miami police found Rocky Costello the afternoon of December 20, 2017, the 34-year-old was unconscious. The officers pulled him from his car, which had struck a tree near Biscayne Boulevard and NE Third Street. Then they arrested Costello and hauled him off to a Miami Police Department station. The crash occurred at about 5 p.m., but Costello wasn't transported to jail until nearly 8:30 that night. An intake nurse refused to book him — according to her, he needed immediate medical attention. An hour later, Costello was taken to the trauma center at Jackson Memorial Hospital. Apparently, it was too little, too late: Six days later, he died from his injuries. His mother, Catherine Costello, is now suing various Miami-Dade County and City of Miami agencies. She says emergency responders failed to get her son the immediate medical attention he required after the crash.
