Police Arrest John Stetina for Alleged DUI in Port Charlotte after Alexandrea Marie Injured


Port Charlotte, SC — A woman named Alexandrea Marie was taken to a hospital with critical injuries last month after she was in an accident that was supposedly caused by a drunk driver. Police said that Alexandrea Marie was a passenger in a car driven by 23-year old James Ayuso when they were hit by a suspected drunk driver on Sunday morning, July 12, 2015.

This was in Port Charlotte at the intersection of Tamiamia Trail and Midway Boulevard.

The police said that it was almost 1:00 a.m. that morning when Ayuso and Alexandrea Marie were headed along Tamiamia Trail/US 41 in his Volkswagen Jetta. As they tried to turn onto Midway Boulevard, they were T-boned by a Ford pickup truck driven by 32-year old John Stetina.

Stetina had been driving the opposite direction on Tamiami Trail, it seems, and ran a red light before hitting them.

While Alexandrea Marie was badly injured and taken to a hospital in critical condition, Stetina and Ayuso were not seriously hurt.

The police, however, later arrested Mr. Stetina for DUI with serious bodily injuries, DUI refusal, and other offenses.

I'm a former employee. I had brought up this exact scenario and suggested a maintenance procedure that would eliminate the possibility of this type injury. Obviously my warning went unheeded.

I was actually a couple cars back from this wreck, one of the first on the scene, and helped administer CPR on the victims. The truck driver was going way too fast, but it was actually his trailer that swung around and hit the suv, the semi-truck ended in the median.

A lot of people say smack about lawyers, but I want to say that I'm glad there is a way that people who are wronged by corporate neglect can get justice and force change. We are living in a world where corporations and govt care less than ever about common people, and I support your work. I hope I will never need your services.

Thank you for posting these accident articles on your site. At the company that I work for, e deal with monitoring construction activity and work around trenches and all sorts of construction equipment/vehicles. I sometimes wonder if construction companies have enough safety training to inform employees of how to protect themselves while on the job.
