ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. ( 10/16/2015) — St. Petersburg Poice report that mayhem broke out as they attempted to investigate a crash when four DUI drivers showed up. Police say that four separate drivers were arrested for DUI after they tried to drive through a car vs. motorcycle crash scene.
Last night at 11:45 p.m. David Flores-Vega turned his motorcycle in front of a car at 9th Ave North and 66th Street North.
When the car clipped the motorcycle, Flores-Vega was thrown into the windshield and then over the car onto the pavement. The motorcycle then rotated and struck the driver door of the car.
Flores-Vega was wearing a helmet and appeared to have been drinking. He was transported to Bayfront in critical condition but died from his injuries this morning.
While this crash was being investigated an elderly driver, who was not believed to be impaired, struck one of the cruisers that was unoccupied. No one was injured.
Over the course of the investigation, four separate drivers approached the scene impaired. They were arrested for DUI and because they attempted to drive through the scene.
In addition, four other drivers face DUI charges after police say they were impaired as they attempted to drive through the investigation scene: Mechelle Darlene Gould, 28; David Tyler Payne, 23; Benjamin H. Emmons, 22 (also facing a charge of cocaine possession); and Joachim Michael Kohlhase, 49 (also facing a charge of cocaine possession).
