PINELLAS DUI BLOG: Fatal Crash In Clearwater Leads To DUI Investigation Of St. Petersburg Man
A Santa Barbara, California man has died a week after he was rear-ended while in the backseat of a car stopped at a Clearwater intersection. St. Pete resident Thomas Corbin slammed into the back of the car at speeds of 40 or 50 M.P.H. according to witnesses and a report on TBO.com. The accident is now under investigation for a possible DUI.
Reports say Corbin had alcohol on his breath and bloodshot, watery eyes yet there have been no charges filed against him in relation to the accident. Corbin admitted to having a few drinks at a bar earlier that evening. Investigators now have asked a judge for permission to search Corbin’s truck, which has been in a body shop since the accident.
