On June 8, 1996, Dionisio Pura was rear-ended by a hit-and-run driver on Highway 98 east of Gulf Breeze. The collision disabled his vehicle, leaving it in a traffic lane in poor visibility. Pura was standing near it when a car driven by Hubbard collided with Pura's truck at about 55 mph without braking. Pura was killed. Both drivers were charged with DUI manslaughter. In Hubbard's trial, the jury convicted him after being instructed that he could be found guilty if he contributed to the cause of death. The First District Court reversed on grounds the jury also should have been required to find that Hubbard's actual operation of the vehicle was negligent due to intoxication.
