Warrant issued for driver

CALLAWAY -- An arrest warrant has been issued for a driver involved in a vehicle crash on April 27, charging him with DUI with serious bodily injury and felony driving on a suspended license, Bay County Sheriff’s Office officials said Wednesday.

BCSO Callaway substation responded to the scene of the crash in the 5800 block of State 22. Investigators determined the driver of the car traveling west on highway 22, David Anthony Ortiz, crossed the center line into the eastbound lane crashing head-on into a vehicle. This resulted in critical injuries to the driver and two passengers in the vehicle that was struck, BCSO said.

BCSO said Ortiz’s blood alcohol level was .216, which is more than two and a half times the legal limit of .08.

Ortiz, 25, is currently being held in the Volusia County Jail on unrelated charges. A hold will be placed for him to be transferred to Bay County as soon as the charges in Volusia County are resolved.
