Fatal accident on U.S. 19 and Alderman Road
Tuesday, August 1, 2006
One of the two 18-year-olds in this Honda died and the other is in critical condition in the hospital.
One person is dead and three are in serious condition after a fatal accident occurred Tuesday morning on U.S. 19 and Alderman Road.
Trooper Larry Coggins said two cars were racing side by side at speeds in excess of 100 mph. They reached an intersection near U.S. 19 and Alderman, where one of the cars hit an SUV and flipped four or five times, ejecting the driver. Another vehicle had its roof completely sheared off.
FHP said two 18-year-olds were trapped in one of the vehicles, a Honda CRX, and there were a number of other vehicles involved in the accident. Troopers said one of the teens died on scene and the other was airlifted to Bayfront Medical Center in critical condition.
Inside the other car that was racing, an Isuzu, a 33-year-old man who was ejected and a 27-year-old woman were both taken to the hospital.
U.S. 19 northbound is closed at Nebraska Avenue. Southbound is open but moving cautiously. Motorists should use McMullen Booth Road or Belcher Road on the other side of Alderman.
