Driver Arrested on Suspicion of DUI Following Fatal Car Crash in Peoria
James Grunert, 40, has been arrested on suspicion of DUI following his involvement in a four-vehicle crash that killed a 64-year-old Surprise woman, according to a news report.
Peoria police say that Grunert was allegedly speeding south on 83rd Ave. in Peoria when his black SUV rear-ended a car driven by Kathleen Petrotta of Surprise. Petrotta’s car was stopped at a red light at the time of the collision, which sent her vehicle into the intersection where it was hit by two other vehicles, a Chevrolet Silverado and a Toyota Tundra.
Petrotta was transported to a local hospital where she died shortly after arrival. The driver of the Silverado was taken to a local trauma center with non-life threatening injuries; the driver of the Tundra was not injured.
