Volusia County, FL (August 11, 2026) – A three-vehicle collision happened around 4:48 p.m. Monday, August 10, on eastbound I-4 near DeBary, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
A Ford F-150 was traveling east when its driver failed to stop for traffic and struck another vehicle from behind. That vehicle then hit a car ahead, creating a chain reaction involving three other vehicles.
The F-150 driver later tried to change lanes and hit a third vehicle. The struck vehicle left the roadway and flipped onto its right side. One person involved in the accident suffered minor injuries and did not go to a hospital.
The pickup driver left the crash site after the collision. A witness followed the truck and provided updates to law enforcement, helping deputies locate the driver, a 48-year-old Deltona man.
The man was arrested and faces DUI and other criminal charges. An additional charge was filed for leaving a hit-and-run involving injury.
The investigation into the circumstances surrounding the wreck remains underway.
Our thoughts are with the person hurt as they recover.
What Information Is Reviewed After a Hit-and-Run?
Hit-and-run cases usually involve several types of evidence. Investigators may review statements from people who saw the accident, photographs, surveillance footage, and vehicle damage. Witness accounts can help establish the direction a vehicle traveled after leaving the roadway.
Vehicle records may also provide information about ownership and the person who was driving. Physical evidence can help connect a vehicle to damage found at the site. Medical records may document the extent of injuries and the treatment received.
In multi-vehicle accidents, investigators may also compare damage patterns across the vehicles involved. Insurance information, traffic-camera footage, and other records can provide additional details about what occurred.
