3 Injured in Hit-And-Run, Rollover Crash

The Florida Highway Patrol is looking for help identifying a motorist it says caused a Wednesday morning crash that left three Holiday residents injured.

According to the agency, the wreck happened on northbound U.S. 19, north of State Road 54, around 10:47 a.m. Troopers say a Hyundai Sonata was heading north in the inside lane at the time. When that vehicle’s driver decided to change into the center lane, the car’s right rear struck the front left of a Chevrolet Blazer driven by Derrick Sullivan, 22, of Holiday.

Sullivan, a highway patrol report said, lost control of the Blazer, which then rotated and overturned multiple times. Sullivan and his two passengers were thrown from the vehicle.

The driver of the Sonata, however, continued north on U.S. 19 without stopping.

Sullivan and passenger Shannon Smith, 20, of Holiday suffered serious injuries. Keleigh Tracy, 22, of Holiday suffered critical injuries, the report said. All three were taken to a local hospital for treatment.

Anyone with information about the crash or the identity of the Sonata’s driver is asked to call the highway patrol at 813-631-4020.
