The life of an 11-year-old boy was honored at a ceremony Saturday after he was killed nearly two years ago by a reckless driver in Sunny Isles.

Inna Trakhtenberg said she hopes Florida legislators will pass a new law that is named after her 11-year-old son who was killed after a speeding driver ran a red light on Feb. 10 in Miami-Dade County.

Anthony Reznik was on the marked crosswalk on Sunny Isles Boulevard when police said Samentha Toussaint, who was driving a red Mercedes-Benz, ran a red light.

The family of an 11-year-old boy who died after a driver struck him while crossing the street on Feb. 10 in Sunny Isles Beach shared surveillance video of the tragedy.

SUNNY ISLES BEACH, Fla. – The crash that ultimately claimed the life of 11-year old Anthony Reznik happened nearly a month ago. But the driver of the red Mercedes, 32-year-old Samentha Toussaint, has yet to be charged criminally — even though police say she ran a red light that night, hitting the boy as he crossed the street in a crosswalk with his family near A1A and Northeast 163rd Street. Anthony’s mother Inna Trachtenberg, who held a memorial for her son Sunday, has been pushing for prosecutors to file charges in the case. Records show Toussaint still owes big fines for some of those past driving citations. Because if it wouldn’t be for numbness, no words can describe.”ALSO SEEBoy struck by car in Sunny Isles by red-light runner declared brain-deadPolice increase safety enforcement after boy struck and killed in Sunny Isles Beach

SUNNY ISLES BEACH, Fla. – Law enforcement officials are increasing pedestrian safety enforcement two weeks after an 11-year-old boy was struck by a vehicle in Sunny Isles Beach and later lost his life. According to Sunny Isles Police Sergeant Brian Schnell, people are unaware of just how dangerous stretches of highways in South Florida truly are – and this most recent tragedy is an example of that. On Friday, Sunny Isles Beach Police were seen patrolling Collins Avenue doing high visibility enforcement to try and prevent a tragedy before it happens again. The enforcement program is a partnership between Sunny Isles Police Department and researchers from the University of North Florida. According to Sunny Isles Police, they reached out to the department in November of 2020 to uncover how Collins Avenue, between 170th and 189th streets, was a hot spot for dangerous accidents.

SUNNY ISLES BEACH, Fla. – The family of an 11-year-old boy hit by a car two weeks ago say his injures are too severe to save him after doctors have declared him brain-dead. His mother said the two were crossing the street to go to the CVS store across the street from where they live. “It’s just unfortunate that someone was reckless driving, on a solid red,” Reznik said. The driver who hit the boy remained at the scene the night of the accident police said. A petition has gathered nearly 2,500 signatures seeking to rename Sunny Isles Boulevard to Anthony Reznik Boulevard in memory of the 11-year-old boy.
