On June 22, 2024, at approximately 3:28 a. m., Tampa Police responded to the 1900 block of N. Dale Mabry Hwy, near W. Spruce St., following reports of a three-vehicle crash.<\/p>\n

Investigators were able to determine that the driver of the at-fault vehicle, a Chrysler Pacifica, failed to observe that a VW Jetta was slowing down for a red light. The Pacifica struck the Jetta, causing it to overturn. The other vehicle struck by the Pacifica was a Chrysler Town and Country, which was already stopped at the light.<\/p>\n

As a result of the crash, one adult female victim, who was a rear passenger in the Jetta, succumbed to her injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene.<\/p>\n

Three other passengers in the Jetta were transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and were discharged a few days later.<\/p>\n

There were no reported injuries to the subjects traveling in the Chrysler Town and Country.<\/p>\n

The suspect and at-fault driver, 28-year-old Terrence Jenkins,<\/strong> exhibited signs of impairment at the scene, and a search warrant was obtained for a blood draw.<\/p>\n

Results of the toxicology revealed that Jenkins\u2019<\/strong> Blood Alcohol Content was 0.126 – 1.5 times higher than the legal limit of 0.08.<\/p>\n

On July 12, 2024, Jenkins <\/strong>turned himself in and was transported to Orient Road Jail.<\/p>\n

Jenkins<\/strong> was charged with: one felony count of vehicular homicide, one felony count of DUI with serious bodily injury, and one felony count of DUI manslaughter.<\/p>\n
