Dania Beach, FL : Canadian man arrested four-car crash in Florida on Monday December 7 2015
A Canadian man has been arrested on six DUI-related charges following a four-car crash in Florida.
The Florida Highway Patrol tells the Sun Sentinel that 40-year-old Martin Bessette, of Saint Cyrille, Que., was driving a vehicle Monday morning when he noticed a line of cars ahead of him stopped at a red light.
Authorities say he rear-ended one car, causing a chain-reaction crash involving two additional vehicles.
Troopers say Bessette was found walking around the car without his shirt and shoes.
His girlfriend, 31-year-old Melaine Menard, was trapped in the wreckage.
Paramedics freed her from the passenger side of the car and took her, Bessette and two others to a hospital.
Menard was placed in the intensive care unit in serious condition while Bessette and the other two people involved in the crash were treated and released.
