A U.S. Navy Sailor stationed at NAS Jax was arrested on charges of DUI manslaughter, vehicular manslaughter and two counts of DUI property damage and personal injury.
He’s accused of driving drunk and too fast, leading to the death of a 41-year-old man from a crash on the Buckman bridge in December.Free Action News Jax app for alerts as news breaksInvestigators say 23-year-old Sage Young was going over 100mph and had a blood alcohol level of .209 when he hit the back of Martin Lynch’s scooter. Sgt. Bryan said it was a smaller version of a motorcycle, that was legally allowed to be on the roads and interstate.
“Each one of these pieces of evidence have to be analyzed and sometimes they’re sent to other agencies for analysis. For example, blood sample sent to FDLE crime lab to determine whether or not the person was driving under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance and sometimes those things take time,” Sgt. Bryan said.
Young is a sailor assigned to a command at NAS Jax. Naval Air Force Atlantic said, “The Sailor has not been convicted of the crimes and will go through the court process. No official court date has been established. The Sailor remains in the Navy,” adding they can’t provide further details.
