A Wimauma man is facing felony criminal charges in connection with a Feb. 15 crash in which a man on an off-road mini-bike was killed, according to court records.
Abraham Trevino, 33, is facing charges of vehicular homicide and DUI manslaughter in connection with the crash, which killed Savor Marvin Taylor, 42.
The crash occurred at 7:39 p.m. as Trevino was driving a 2018 Nissan Murano east on North Street approaching Ninth Street in Hillsborough County. Taylor was driving the mini-bike north on Ninth approaching North, records state.
Trevino, who investigators say was driving 71 mph in a 30-mph zone, ran a stop sign and hit Taylor. After impact, Taylor and the bike were dragged 345 feet, records state.
Taylor was pronounced dead at Tampa General Hospital.
Investigators with the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office noticed that Trevino appeared impaired. He did poorly on sobriety tests and was arrested, records state.
Tests showed the concentrations of alcohol in his breath were 0.072 and 0.071, which is less than the 0.08 under which Florida law says someone is impaired.
“Due to the defendant’s level of impairment being inconsistent with his displayed impairment,” investigators asked him for a urine sample and, when he refused, obtained a search warrant to take and test a blood sample, records state. The results of that test are being determined.
Bond was set at $100,150, and Trevino was released from jail on Friday, jail records show.
Taylor’s online obituary says he was born in Columbus, Georgia, and had lived in Tampa for 20 years.
