TAMPA - Thirteen months after being involved in a chain-reaction crash that killed a 30-year-old U.S. Secret Service agent, Christopher Lee Anderson has been charged with vehicular homicide.
Anderson, 22, of 7329 Jackson Springs Road in Tampa was charged Monday with the second-degree felony. He was freed on $7,500 bail.
Tampa police said Anderson sped off the Crosstown Express way into downtown Tampa on Nov. 22, 2004, ramming a federal agent's unmarked car into an oncoming bus filled with cruise-bound tourists.
Secret Service Agent Phillip Lebid, the youngest member of the Secret Service's 15-member office in Tampa, died instantly.
Anderson's driving record includes three license suspensions since 2003 for failing to pay a fine; four speeding tickets between 2000 and 2004; and one ticket in 2003 for failing to stop at a stop sign, records say.
