Suspected drunk driver arrested following deadly Dale Mabry crash
TAMPA, Fla. - A man has been charged with DUI nearly three weeks after a deadly three-vehicle crash on Dale Mabry Highway.
Terrence Jenkins, 28, turned himself in on Friday.
Officials say Emily Koutsoliontos was a passenger in a Volkswagen Jetta that was stopped at a red light on North Dale Mabry Highway at Spruce Street on June 22. At 3:28 a.m., police say Jenkins, who was driving a Chrysler Pacifica, did not stop for the light and struck the Jetta, causing it to overturn.

Koutsoliontos died at the scene.
Three other passengers in the Jetta were taken to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and were discharged a few days later.
