The Florida Highway Patrol says 26-year-old Lucas Dos Reis Laurindo was issued a ticket last week. Federal officials previously took him into custody for a visa violation.
The crash happened Feb. 18 in Kissimmee, which is near Orlando.
Troopers said the family had been traveling in a van when it was struck from behind and overturned.
Four members of a family visiting Florida were killed. A grandmother, mother and her 5-year-old daughter died at the scene. Scarlett Smith, 5, Julie Smith, 41, and Josephine Fay, 76, were in the van when it crashed. Her 11-year-old son Jackson Smith died later at the hospital.
Dos Reis Laurindo remains at the jail in Glades County, near Lake Okeechobee.
