Wolff, Jessica Boumans and Vanessa (Featured Guest Book)

Vanessa Wolff had a lot ahead of her. The 23-year-old Boca Raton resident was planning her wedding, preparing to take a new job at a massage clinic her family will open next month and considering going to graduate school.

Now her family is mourning her death.

"Vanessa planned all of it," said her mother, Charlsey Wolff, of the May ceremony. "She had a binder. She did it all, down to the flowers, down to the photographers and disc jockey." Wolff and her friend Jessica Boumans, 23, were killed around 2 a.m. Saturday morning, just a few minutes from home, when another driver sped through a red light at the intersection of Interstate 95 and Palmetto Park Road and crashed into Boumans' black Mercedes.

Wolff, originally from Metairie, La., and Boumans, from New Jersey, died at the scene. Two other women in the car were injured. Leila Storey, 24, of Orlando, suffered a broken leg and minor injuries and Paula Coccia, 23, of Pennsylvania, sustained a shattered pelvis and broken neck. Coccia was in serious condition at Delray Medical Center Sunday afternoon.

Police arrested Edwin Perez, 31, of Boca Raton, hours after the crash. Perez told investigators he ran through the red light in his red Ford Explorer, thinking the signal was for other lanes of traffic, then tried to brake at the last minute, according to a police report.

He also admitted to sharing two pitchers of beer with a friend that night at a local bar, and police said he smelled of alcohol. Neither Perez nor his passenger, Patrick Shelton, reported injuries from the crash.

Perez, who works at a local Wal-Mart, appeared before a judge Sunday morning on charges including DUI manslaughter, reckless driving and killing a fetus. He was held at the county jail on $50,000 bond.

Records show Perez has been charged with DUI before, and has several other traffic violations.

A teacher's assistant at a private school, Wolff enjoyed yoga, the beach and exercising, said her mother. She earned a psychology degree in 2005 from Lynn University. She and Boumans were college roommates, and Boumans was to be bridesmaid in Wolff's wedding.
