Major Accident Investigation Team (MAIT) Investigates Serious Vehicle Crash in Madeira Beach (26-041)
MADEIRA BEACH - Deputies assigned to the Major Accident Investigation Team (MAIT) are investigating a serious vehicle crash in Madeira Beach.
According to investigators, on May 10, 2026, at approximately 9:43 P.M., 53-year-old Jane Walseth was driving a 2015 Jeep Wrangler north on Gulf Boulevard. As Walseth approached the intersection of 150th Avenue, 29-year-old Jordan Tuttle, driving a 2024 Tesla Model 3, was making an eastbound turn onto 150th Avenue. Walseth ran the red light and proceeded through the intersection, striking Tuttle.
Walseth’s vehicle rolled onto its side, ejecting her through the fiberglass top. Walseth was located next to the vehicle, unresponsive, and was subsequently transported to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Tuttle sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was treated and released from the hospital.
Impairment does appear to be a factor in this case.
The investigation continues.
