DUI Driver Faces New Charges After Fatal Crash | Jacksonville News

A 59-year-old man, Kevin Alan Hoffman, faces deadly charges after a July crash in St. Johns County that killed a woman on a motorized scooter. Accused of DUI, vehicular homicide, and fleeing the scene, Hoffman had just finished probation for a prior DUI — and his blood alcohol level was .212, way over Florida’s .08 limit. Witnesses’ video sparked rumors of a police chase, but authorities say deputies were trying to stop him after seeing him stumble drunk. He sped off, leaving deputies no choice but to physically remove him from his Tesla — which also had a vodka bottle in the passenger seat. The investigation continues as Hoffman remains in custody.
