Description
A passenger inside a truck involved in a crash Monday morning on Gandy Boulevard died from his injuries, authorities said.
The crash happened just before 10 a.m. in front of the RaceWay gas station and prompted the closure of the westbound lanes, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Troopers said a Ford F-150 truck, driven by a 43-year-old St. Petersburg man, was heading east on Gandy while a Ford Mustang, with an 18-year-old Brandon man behind the wheel, was traveling west.
At the driveway access to the gas station, the truck turned left into the path of the Mustang and was hit.
The impact caused the truck to flip onto its roof and the Mustang crashed off the side of the road. Troopers said an unrestrained passenger inside the truck, a 58-year-old St. Petersburg man, died at the scene of the crash.
The westbound lanes were closed for at least an hour before reopening.
