Man involved in crash that killed 24-year-old Orlando woman arrested for DUI manslaughter, FHP says
ORLANDO, Fla. - A driver involved in a fatal collision in Orlando early Sunday morning has been arrested for DUI manslaughter, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Around 4:00 a.m., the woman was driving northbound in a sedan on Forest City Road approaching Lake Weston Drive in the inside lane, a press release stated. A truck, traveling westbound on Lake Weston Drive, failed to stop at a stop sign and entered the direct path of the sedan, troopers said. As a result, the truck struck the sedan, causing the car to run off the roadway, according to FHP.
The driver of the sedan, a 24-year-old Orlando woman, was pronounced dead on scene, troopers said. The driver of the truck, 39-year-old Alejandro Valencia, sustained minor injuries and has been arrested and booked into the Orange County Jail for DUI manslaughter, according to FHP.
