TAMPA — The driver of the SUV in Wednesday's fatal crash on the Lee Roy Selmon Crosstown Expressway had unopened beer in her vehicle, the Florida Highway Patrol said Thursday.

Cheryl M. Riemann of Ruskin had several Budweiser beer bottles in the front of her vehicle, but Highway Patrol Sgt. Steve Gaskins said all the bottles he saw were closed except one that broke in the crash.

The bottles led investigators to believe alcohol may have played a part in the crash, he said. Blood-alcohol test results are pending.

Riemann, 25, was traveling east on the westbound lanes of the expressway just after 2 p.m. Wednesday. Her sport utility vehicle hit a Pontiac coupe head on and killed its driver, Jennifer O'Boyle. It happened on the lower portion of the expressway, not far from Palm River Road.
