Florida: ZACHARY ADAM KURETH – A Mad-Man behind the wheel due to loco Judges of Florida now scores a dead victim one week after DUI conviction

Lee County Sheriff’s Office

Florida Highway Patrol

The News-Press reports that Florida Highway Patrol troopers said Zachary Kureth, 24, intentionally hit the brakes on Interstate 75 “in an act of road rage,” triggering an April 19 crash that killed Robert Weinland, 79, of Sarasota. The crash, between the Daniels Parkway and Alico Road exits, also left Weinland’s 75-year-old passenger, Gisela Weinland, with serious injuries.

Kureth, who had been placed on probation 11 days before the fatal crash due to a DUI conviction, was booked into jail in Lee County on Saturday.

Troopers said Weinland was southbound on I-75 in his 2015 Chrysler Town & Country when he changed lanes in front of Kureth’s 2003 Dodge Caravan. Kureth then passed Weinland and changed back into Weinland’s lane.

Troopers said Kureth reduced his speed “to a stopped position,” forcing Weinland to do the same. A semi-truck behind Weinland couldn’t stop in time, rear-ending Weinland’s van and causing him to hit the right rear of another vehicle, investigators said. Weinland was pronounced dead at the scene. Kureth wasn’t hurt. MORE
