Gainesville, FL (October 14, 2018) A multi-vehicle crash occurred on Saturday, October 13, in Gainesville. A driver was charged with a DUI and evidence tampering after he struck another vehicle with his car. The car proceeded to flip multiple times before coming to a rest on its roof.
After receiving multiple reports of a flipped car, police arrived on the scene. 47-year-old Jeffrey Todd Jones was traveling along Northwest 34th Street when his 2012 Hyundai Touring struck another vehicle that had struck the intersection. Jones’s vehicle flipped multiple times and other drivers who stopped at the scene had to physically remove him from the car.
Police reported the smell of alcohol and smashed beer bottles in Jones’s car. After being charged with a DUI, Jones proceeded to discard a pipe containing marijuana which police found shortly afterward.
Jones was sent to North Florida Regional Medical Center to receive care before being transferred to Alachua County jail with a $5,000 bail.
