Woman Sustains Life-Threatening Injuries In Causeway Crash

CLEARWATER, FL — One person has been hospitalized with life-threatening injuries and another with serious injuries following a crash Sunday night on the Courtney Campbell Causeway.

Just after 11 p.m., Diana Sofia Sandoval, 36, of Clearwater was driving a 2018 Nissan Sentra west on the causeway when she lost control and struck the guardrail on the north side of the road. Sandoval then over-corrected and veered into the eastbound lanes through a median break, striking a 2011 Ford F-150 driven by Eduardo R. Reices, 39, of Largo nearly head on.

Sandoval was transported to St. Joseph's Hospital with life-threatening injuries. A passenger in the truck, Olga Lugo Gonzalez, 27, of Largo was taken to Bayfront Health St. Petersburg with serious injuries.
