The Port Orange Police Department Traffic Homicide Unit has been actively investigating this traffic fatality since the date of crash. The investigation revealed that Teresa C. Shinaver was driving a 2006 Nissan Pathfinder with James H. Shinaver as her front seat passenger. T. Shinaver was stopped for the red traffic signal northbound on Yorktown Boulevard at the intersection of Dunlawton Avenue. Patrick Ryan Shea was operating a 2013 BMW X5 traveling west bound on Dunlawton Avenue. P. Shea had two passengers inside his vehicle: (front seat passenger Michael Shea and left rear passenger Timothy Alderson). As the traffic signal turned green for T. Shinaver, she proceeded to cross Dunlawton Avenue northbound. Witnesses observed P. Shea’s vehicle traveling west bound on Dunlawton Avenue at a high rate of speed and subsequently fail to stop for the red traffic signal at Yorktown Boulevard. P. Shea’s vehicle violently collided into the passenger side of T. Shinaver’s vehicle. This collision caused T. Shinaver’s vehicle to overturn and continue traveling in a westerly direction subsequently striking the curb, a traffic signal control box and sidewalk light located on the NW corner of the intersection. Both vehicles were totaled as a result of the crash. Both T. Shinaver and J. Shinaver were pronounced deceased at the scene. Both of P. Shea’s passengers sustained injures as a result of the crash and were transported to the hospital. P. Shea was also transported to the hospital.
