Cynthia Daniels is a character in the film The Final Destination. She is the wife of Carter Daniels and a casualty of the McKinley Speedway accident.
Biography
Cynthia was married to a racist tow truck driver named Carter Daniels. She and her husband attended the McKinley Speedway to watch the Megatech 300 race.
The Final Destination
In a horrible vision seen by Nick O'Bannon, Cynthia and her husband are cut in half by a flying, flaming car hood after a race car explodes and sends a large sheet of metal in their direction.
Death
When Nick freaks out after the dream, he spills Carter's beverage all over his clothes, and Carter runs out of the stadium to go tell him off, shouting at Cynthia to stay put. Suddenly, the crash happens just like Nick predicted, killing Cynthia and 51 others. Carter tried to run back inside to save Cynthia, but he was stopped by a security guard.

Trivia
- It's not stated whether Cynthia is racist like her husband, Carter, but she doesn't seem to do anything to stop Carter from acting the way he does. In the original script, she seems to encourage Carter when he whistles "Dixieland" in reference to George.
- In the original script, she is described as: CYNTHIA DANIELS, 38, her death can be seen on the security cameras, she apparently dies the same way.
- Depending on how you look at it, Carter "caused Cynthia's death" by ordering her to stay behind, which is ironic as he blames George, although they both technically had something to do with it.
