Florida Highway Patrol said Tuesday that four people were injured in a crash in Palmetto.
The crash happened at 1:55 p.m. Monday on Roman Road and U.S. 41.
A 42-year-old man from Bradenton and his passenger, a 46-year-old man from Palmetto, stopped at a stop sign on 105th Street East, at the intersection of U.S. 41.
A driver in another sedan was traveling north on U.S. 41 in the right lane, approaching the intersection.
The second car was driven by a 69-year-old man, with a 67-year old woman passenger, both from Rhinebeck, New York.
When the Bradenton man drove across the northbound lane of U.S. 41 and entered the path of the second car, the New York man hit the left side of the first car.
FHP said the Bradenton driver’s vehicle spun out of control before stopping in the right turn lane of the intersection. The New York driver’s car stopped in the left turn lane.
All the people involved in the crash were injured. The 67-year older woman suffered critical injuries, and the two Florida drivers were seriously injured. They were transported to Blake Hospital.
The New York man had minor injuries.
Investigation into the crash is ongoing.
