Overview
- The crash, which deputies said happened Saturday near the University Boulevard beach access, sent the boy to Halifax Health with a concussion and a hairline C‑spine fracture before he was released.
- Witness accounts and a photo of empty beer cans led deputies to a DUI probe, and they arrested 36-year-old Brock Winkler on charges of DUI with serious bodily injury and refusal to submit to testing.
- The body-worn camera video released Monday, along with the affidavit, describes shifting behavior by Winkler and notes he began chewing gum as deputies investigated.
- Deputies determined the collision occurred after the child ran into the traffic lane on the beach, and records show no citation was issued for the crash itself.
- Winkler remains jailed in Volusia County, and he told deputies he was on pretrial release in an unrelated Polk County burglary case.
