TAMPA, Fla. – A driver was arrested for DUI manslaughter more than a week after a crash that killed a pedestrian on South Howard in Tampa, officials said.
The Tampa Police Department said 27-year-old Pjeter Nesti Paci is now behind bars in Pinellas County.
Investigators said the crash happened just after 2:45 a.m. on October 22 in the 400 block of South Howard Avenue. Authorities said Paci was driving out of a shopping plaza at Howard Avenue and Horatio Street in a 2013 Chevrolet HD2500 truck when he hit a 35-year-old man.

The truck didn’t come to a complete stop before entering the road, according to TPD. The pedestrian was standing near the edge of the road when the truck hit him.
The pedestrian was taken to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries, where he died. Paci remained at the scene of the crash, according to officers.
Paci will be taken to the Orient Road Jail in Tampa at a later time.
