BRADENTON, Fla. — Police arrested a man who they say was involved in a crash that left one person dead and another in the hospital in Manatee County on Monday night.
The Bradenton Police Department (BPD) said Milton May, 52, was driving his pickup truck home after leaving a local business shortly before 10:15 p.m.
While driving east on 42nd Avenue West, police said May went into the path of a motorcycle heading north on 59th Street West.
The crash killed a 35-year-old woman who was riding on the bike and critically injured the driver, a 28-year-old man. He was taken to the hospital as a trauma alert, where he remains in the ICU.
Police said May stayed at the scene but showed signs of impairment and refused field sobriety tests. He was arrested and taken to a hospital.
Investigators obtained a warrant to collect a blood sample from May, and the result of the BAC test is still pending.
May was arrested for DUI manslaughter and DUI with serious bodily injury. He will be taken to the Manatee County Jail once he receives medical clearance. Additional charges are still possible.
There are some truly inspiring people who call the Tampa Bay area home. People who overcome odds that others could not even imagine. Tampa Bay 28 anchor Lauren St. Germain met a woman who is doing just that, as she competes at an international level after 2 life-saving lung transplants.
