An Alva man was arrested after a five-month investigation connected him to a fatal crash on the Caloosahatchee Bridge in February.
Fort Myers police arrested Jamaine Washington, 43, on Tuesday for charges of vehicular homicide, driving with license suspended and providing false statement to law enforcement.
On Feb. 11, reports say a 23-year-old male was driving his motorcycle northbound on the bridge.
Washington was also speeding northbound on the bridge when he rear-ended the victim, killing him.
While on the scene, reports say Washington lied to investigators and stated he was a passenger and not the driver.
Through investigations, detectives were able to gather data from the Event Data Recorder from the vehicle Washington was driving, statements from multiple witnesses, the crash and video evidence.
Washington was arrested and taken to the Lee County Jail.
