The man won't be charged with a crime—no other apartments were damaged in the fire—but he was taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation, and police filed paperwork to hospitalize him under Florida's Baker Act as a danger to himself and others.
The Durango fled the scene but was located almost two hours later after it had been left at a home. Highway patrol said it is looking for 26-year-old Robert Corchado. Troopers said he was the driver of the Durango, but wouldn’t say how they established that. Troopers said Corchado may be trying to leave the area.
Local television footage showed small children and infants in cribs taken outside on the day care’s playground and several of the injured were carried out on stretchers. The highway patrol reported that the injured were taken to five different hospitals.
