However, court records show Gamble – who lives in a $1.4m, five bedroom, three bathroom Coral Gables home – was previously cited in Broward County in 2015 for driving on the wrong side of a divided highway while under the influence, paying a $165 fine after pleading guilty.
According to a traffic report, Gamble ran over a curb and hit a parked car before crashing into a table with five diners and hitting nearby pedestrians at around 6pm on Thursday. The beige 1990 Bentley Mulsanne then trapped people underneath as it knocked over a traffic sign and hit a tree.

Cara Meng, 18, was one of the ones injured in the crash as she walked in front of the restaurant that night. She said she is still processing everything that happened, noting that she didn’t actually see Gamble come barreling down the street and ‘had no time to react.’
‘I think it’s really not fair, considering she had a previous DUI,’ Meng said of the Miami police’s decision not to criminally charge Gamble, adding: ‘I’m not sure how she’s still on the road.
‘There definitely needs to be some compensation,’ she said, ‘Like someone died, this is not OK.’
Thursday’s crash happened just after 6pm outside the Italian restaurant, leaving tables overturned and napkins strewn about the sidewalk. A restaurant patron was killed while dining. Several other were injured and hospitalized.
As Gamble was backing into a space, she sped up without warning and hit several tables, cops said.

Rodriguez said the investigation is continuing and Gamble could face traffic citations, with a police report saying she was operating the car in a ‘careless or negligent manner,’ the police report said.
Her house maid on Monday told Local 10 News Gamble is now ‘under a lot of stress’ as she deals with the aftermath of the fatal crash.
But Meng, who is still recovering from injuries she sustained in the crash, said she thought Gamble ‘looked completely emotionless’ when she saw footage from the crash afterwards, noting: ‘I don’t know what was going on in her head.’

‘Everyone is starting to move stuff out of the way and everything, and they pushed it enough so that the person had gotten out,’ Miles told WSVN. ‘I was very surprised to have it happened right in front of me.’
