Robert Bradio Injured in West Palm Beach I-95 DUI Crash – PBSO

WEST PALM BEACH, FL — October 04, 2026 A 72-year-old Delray Beach resident was critically injured early Sunday when a wrong-way driver triggered a three-vehicle collision on Interstate 95 in West Palm Beach.

Robert Harold Bradio was behind the wheel of a Cadillac Eldorado when the chain-reaction crash unfolded near the 45th Street and Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard area just before 5:30 a.m. According to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, Edwin Castro was traveling south in the northbound lanes of I-95 in a GMC Sierra pickup. A deputy observed the truck weaving and attempted to follow from the opposite side of the median but lost sight of it near Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard.

Moments later, the GMC Sierra collided head-on with a Dodge Caravan. The Dodge then veered and struck the rear of Bradio’s Cadillac. Bradio sustained a lacerated aorta and was transported to a hospital with incapacitating injuries. The 68-year-old West Palm Beach driver of the Dodge Caravan was pronounced dead at the scene.

Castro faces multiple felony charges, including DUI manslaughter, vehicular homicide, DUI causing serious bodily injury, reckless driving causing serious bodily injury, and additional DUI and reckless-driving counts tied to property damage and injuries. He was also cited for traveling the wrong direction on the interstate.

DUI Accident Investigation

National data underscore the severity of impaired-driving crashes. Mothers Against Drunk Driving reports that roughly 300,000 people are injured each year in the United States in alcohol-related collisions. Impaired drivers commonly experience diminished judgment, blurred vision, poorer coordination, and slower reaction times.

Candice Bond, Managing Partner at Bond Legal and a national legal analyst for Accident Injury News, addressed the broader implications of incidents of this nature. “Separate from any criminal prosecution, a person hurt in a crash may pursue compensation through a civil action against the at-fault party,” Bond explained. “Beyond the work already performed by law enforcement, counsel can re-interview key witnesses, examine available surveillance footage from the vicinity, and secure phone and messaging records of the responsible driver. In cases such as this, an attorney serves as an advocate who can guide injured individuals through a difficult period, safeguard their legal rights, and help ensure that those who choose to drive while impaired are held accountable.”

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration notes that motor-vehicle crashes injure approximately 1.9 million people annually in the United States. Common contributing factors include speeding; impairment by alcohol, drugs, or medication; failure to maintain the proper lane; failure to yield; and distracted driving.

“Time is critical in cases such as this,” Bond added. “Evidence must be preserved and reviewed promptly so that victims’ rights and best interests remain protected throughout the process.”


Personal Injury Claim

Depending on the findings of the ongoing investigation, Robert Harold Bradio may be positioned to pursue a personal injury claim. Potential recoverable damages can include medical and rehabilitation expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.

Stefano Formica, Of Counsel at Bond Legal and a national legal analyst, observed that injured parties frequently turn to civil claims to address the substantial costs that follow a serious collision. “Insurance carriers are often slow to acknowledge the full financial burden an injured person faces,” Formica said. “In cases such as this, experienced counsel can compel those companies to meet their obligations and cover the losses that result from another driver’s negligence.”

Accident Injury News extends thoughts to Robert Harold Bradio and his family during this challenging time.
