Video above: Pedestrian seriously injured in SoHo DUI crash, Tampa police say

In Tampa’s SoHo neighborhood early Monday morning, a suspected DUI incident led to the arrest of three individuals after a pedestrian was hit, resulting in serious injuries.

According to Tampa police, the driver, identified as 25-year-old Richard Meadows III, along with two of his companions, were taken into custody following the crash that took place around 2:50 a.m. at the intersection of South Howard Avenue and West Azeele Street.

The Toyota Camry driven by Meadows collided with a 27-year-old man, who was standing behind a parked vehicle. The collision caused the pedestrian to lose his leg below the knee and severely damaged the parked car.

The pedestrian remained in critical, but stable, condition on Tuesday.

Police said Meadows showed “clear signs of impairment” and took him into custody following a DUI investigation. Some of his friends became agitated to the point where it interfered with officers’ investigative efforts.

Two men, identified as Julian Jackson, 29, and Rashon Goode, 28, were also arrested. Police said Jackson punched both Meadows and an officer during a police interview. Goode was accused of grabbing an officer’s vest during Meadows’ arrest.

Meadows was charged with DUI with serious bodily injury. Jackson was charged with battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest and battery. Goode was charged with battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest.

The three men were taken to the Orient Road Jail.
