Charges Filed In Fatal DUI Crash
May 10, 2012
A Pace man has been charged for the death of a 19-year old killed in a single vehicle traffic accident April 25 southeast of Jay.
Calan Floyd Lewis, 23, was arrested Wednesday and charged with DUI manslaughter and vehicular homicide. He was being held in the Santa Rosa County Jail without bond.
Jasmine Celest Wuesthoff of Pace was pronounced dead at the scene of the 2:04 a.m. crash near the intersection of Sandy Landing Road and Mineral Springs Road, about a mile from the Sandy Landing Boat Ramp on the Escambia River.
She was a passenger in a 1997 Chevrolet Blazer driven by Lewis. According to the Florida Highway Patrol, Lewis was eastbound on Sandy Landing Road, when he lost control. The Blazer began to spin and ran off onto the north shoulder of the roadway where it hit several trees and shrubs. The vehicle then came to rest upside down on top of the trees and shrubs.
Neither the driver or passenger were wearing a seat belt.

I’m. Professional truck driver, on a average I see about 7 accidents a week,I don’t know how many of them were alcohol related,let’s say none of them were. If people can have accidents without drinking,what males people think they can avoid one under the influence?
This is also why you do not get in a vehicle with someone who has been drining and is intending to be driving. Don’t worry about hurting their feelings; they won’t remember in the morning that you did.
David for self-defense
