(Credit: Google Street View) A 62-year-old Naples man faces a DUI charge after he struck a pedestrian walking a dog early Monday, troopers say. Jeffrey Stone was driving west on Port Au Prince Road, approaching Collier Boulevard, when his sedan veered into the opposite lane and struck a 59-year-old man and his dog. The man was taken to the hospital in serious condition and the dog died at the scene, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. Stone was arrested and taken to the Collier County Jail, but the FHP said he was later taken to the hospital for an unrelated medical issue. He will be booked into jail once he is released from the hospital. The crash happened at about 5:45 a.m. The Florida Highway Patrol no longer releases the names of crash victims, citing Marsy’s Law.
