Pasco County, FL (July 3, 2018) - One woman died and four others were injured in an accident that happened in Pasco County. One Pasco man was arrested for causing the head-on collision that took a life and injured others.
The man was identified as 27-year-old Ryan James Manley, who was charged with one count of DUI manslaughter, counts of DUI serious injury, and more in relation to the accident.
The accident took place in the early morning hours when Manley was drinking and driving. He was driving along in his Hyundai Accent north and approaching Pasco County when he suddenly drifted into the southbound lane. Due to this, he struck a Saturn head-on. This caused the death of 30-year-old Shaita Guillory. She died at the scene of the accident.
Her two children were in the backseat and received serious injuries. Manley and his passenger were also seriously injured and taken to the hospital.
