Driver Arrested After SR-436 Crash Kills Pedestrian, Charged With DUI Vehicular Manslaughter

Altamonte Springs Police Department investigators arrested a driver after a vehicle struck and killed a pedestrian at the intersection of State Road 436 and Wymore Road on the evening of Friday, March 6, 2026, police said. The driver is charged with DUI vehicular manslaughter and resisting without violence, authorities confirmed to WESH 2.

Officers closed lanes on SR‑436 while they worked the scene, shutting the eastbound lanes between Wymore Road and Interstate 4 shortly before 8 p.m., according to an Altamonte Springs Police release. The release advised motorists, "Please avoid the area and use an alternate route." Police later reported the roadway in that segment had reopened after investigators finished on‑scene work.

Police have not released the names of the suspect or the victim. "The man, who remains unidentified, is also facing a charge of resisting without violence," reads the account provided to WESH 2, and "The victim also remains unidentified at this time." Altamonte Springs Police confirmed the criminal charges to WESH 2 but did not provide the suspect's name or additional identifying details.

Details about how the crash unfolded remain limited in the department's public statements. Investigators have not said whether the pedestrian was in a marked crosswalk at the SR‑436 and Wymore Road intersection, what time the collision occurred, or whether blood or breath testing results are available to support the DUI vehicular manslaughter charge. The resisting without violence count was reported but the department has not described the conduct that prompted that charge.

The March 6 fatality adds to a pattern of deadly crashes reported in the broader Altamonte Springs and Seminole County corridor in recent years, though those incidents are separate from this case. Past items in the local record include a December 10, 2019 pedestrian death on State Road 434 near Wekiva Springs Road and a 2022 motorcyclist fatality on SR‑436 at Maple Street; those earlier crashes involved different locations, victims, and circumstances and did not involve the charges now reported in the March 6 incident.

Altamonte Springs Police Department investigators continue to work the case and have so far limited public details to the arrest, the charges and the traffic advisory. "This is a developing story and will be updated as more information is released.
