Lake Worth woman killed in DUI crash had lost son to hit-and-run
By Christina DeNardo | Palm Beach Post

Lake Worth - Phyllis Henzel had just left to go to her weekly bingo game Friday night when her son, Carl, heard a crash outside their home on B Street.

In his wheelchair and in the dark, Carl Henzel made his way to the front lawn, where he saw his mother's mangled car. The person who slammed into Henzel's 1994 Mercury wagon was gone. He wheeled himself to the driver's side of the crushed car, where the 72-year-old grandmother lay lifeless.

"I knew there wasn't anything I could do," said Henzel, who lives with his mother and brother, Sean. "It was the most miserable thing I've ever seen in my life."

Authorities said the driver of the car that slammed into Henzel didn't have a license. He was drunk and speeding along the residential street, where the posted speed limit is 25 mph, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.



Jose Arnoldo Benites, 19, was arrested shortly after the crash. He was charged with driving under the influence manslaughter, leaving the scene of an accident causing death and felony driving without a license causing death. He was being held without bail.

"Everybody is devastated," said Henzel's daughter Deborah Cigola. "My mother was outside crumpled like a pretzel because someone who didn't have their license was driving and drunk."

After the crash, several of Henzel's eight children and six grandchildren raced to the scene, waiting for hours to see her as sheriff's deputies conducted their investigation. Cigola called Sacred Heart Church and asked for a priest so her mother could receive her last rites. At 2 a.m., five hours after the crash, family gathered around Henzel, whose body was covered with a black blanket, and prayed.

"I made a promise to her she would always get her last rites," said Cigola, her voice cracking. "They [traffic investigators] waited until the priest got here. He walked up the street, through the shattered glass. We all just gathered around her, and he blessed her. We said a Hail Mary and a Glory Be and an Our Father."

Henzel, a widow, played bingo every week with a group of girlfriends in Lantana. Though not well off, she opened up her home to those less fortunate, her family said.

"She felt sorry for people in Lake Worth," Cigola said. "She just welcomed them into her home. Some of my brothers had friends who were homeless, and they knew they could come here."

Henzel's tragic death has shaken her tightknit family and reopened wounds of another family death at the hands of a hit-and-run driver. In 1976, Henzel's son, Lief, was walking along B Street when he was fatally struck by a car.

Friday's crash was the latest in a series of hit-and-runs on the residential street and the fifth one that Henzel was involved in, her family said. In the past few years, Henzel's car has been hit by four other drivers who fled the scene. In only one case was the driver caught.

Cigola's car had also been hit while it was parked on the street at her mother's home.
