A 19-year-old man suffered critical injuries in a St. Petersburg crash Saturday night.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, the crash took place on 28th Street North and 47th Avenue North just before 11 p.m.
Troopers believe a 1999 Toyota Corolla traveling northbound on 28th Street was slowing to make a left turn onto 47th Avenue when a GMC pickup truck crashed into the back of it.
The Corolla was knocked into the parking lot of the adjacent B&N Food Mart at 4700 28th Street North and struck an unoccupied Ford Explorer.
The GMC continued northbound after the second collision and came to rest in the intersection of 28th Street and 50th Avenue North.
The 19-year-old passenger in the Corolla suffered critical injuries and remains at Bayfront Health St. Petersburg.
The driver of the Corolla, a 20-year-old Largo man, suffered serious injuries.
The driver of the GMC truck, a 40-year-old man, suffered minor injuries.
Troopers said charges are pending.
After an auto accident, taking care of your injuries should be your top priority. Most people injured in car crashes assume that because they have insurance that all of their injuries from the accident will be covered. However, the truth is that insurance companies are in business to make money, and even though your medical care is of the utmost importance, it is entirely possible that your insurance company won’t cover the full extent of your injuries.
