A man has been arrested for driving under the influence following a crash in Hialeah that left a motorcyclist hospitalized with multiple fractures, police said.<\/p>\n
Juan Carlos Rodriguez-Barrera, 61, was arrested on charges of DUI and DUI with damage to property or person, an arrest report said.<\/p>\n
According to the report, the crash happened just after 3:20 p.m. Sunday at the intersection of East 4th Avenue and East 39th Street when Rodriguez-Barrera, who was driving a Toyota Highlander, collided with a Harley Davidson.<\/p>\n
The driver of the Harley was rushed to Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center with multiple rib fractures, multiple pelvic fractures and lacerations to the face.<\/p>\n
When Hialeah Police responded an officer smelled a strong odor of alcohol on Rodriguez-Barrera’s breath and noticed he had bloodshot, red eyes, the report said.<\/p>\n
Rodriguez-Barrera also had an “erratic and argumentative behavior” and refused to perform field sobriety exercises, the report said.<\/p>\n
He was taken to a local hospital where a blood sample was taken, but while there he started yelling at nursing staff and requesting to leave, and spontaneously said he “drank a little bit of alcohol” in Spanish, the report said.<\/p>\n
Rodriguez-Barrera was arrested and booked into jail. On Monday, he appeared before a judge, who set his bond at $10,000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man has been arrested for driving under the influence following a crash in Hialeah that left a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":413035,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[225,227,226],"class_list":["post-413034","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-hialeah","tag-hialeah","tag-hialeah-headlines","tag-hialeah-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/413034","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=413034"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/413034\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/413035"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=413034"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=413034"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=413034"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
