A Largo man was arrested early Saturday morning after police said he drove around a fatal crash during an active investigation.
The Clearwater Police Department was at the scene of the crash in the 1200 block of Union Street for a motorcyclist who died after hitting a pole. Police had shut down both directions of Union Street.
Just after 3 a.m., D S, 31, drove around the activated emergency vehicles that were blocking the road during their investigation.
