TAMPA, Fla. — Officials said they have arrested a 29-year-old Tampa driver on a DUI charge, following a crash on I-275 near I-4 on Thursday.
Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) said just after 10 p.m. on Nov. 27, a Honda CRV was headed southbound on the inside lane of I-275, approaching I-4 when the driver changed lanes to the right into the middle lane, where a Subaru Outback was traveling. The CRV hit the front left of the Outback, causing the CRV to rotate and overturn, according to FHP. The report states the Outback ran off the roadway to the right, hitting the concrete barrier wall. FHP said the CRV came to a final rest on its roof in the center lane, while the Outback stopped in the outside lane facing northeast.
According to the Florida Department of Transportation's traffic cameras, part of I-275 South was shut down on Thursday evening due to a traffic crash.
Officials arrested the driver of the Honda CRV, Emily Frances Diaz, who they said gave a breath sample of .205. Diaz suffered minor injuries, according to FHP.
The driver of the Subaru Outback suffered no injuries, per the report.
