Woman Injured In 4-Vehicle Crash On U.S. 19: FL Troopers

PALM HARBOR, FL — A 73-year-old Crystal Beach woman was seriously injured Wednesday afternoon in a four-vehicle crash at the intersection of Oak Avenue and U.S. 19, the Florida Highway Patrol said in a news release.

The woman was driving a Lexus RX SUV west on Oak Avenue when she tried to cross the northbound lanes of U.S. 19, turning north into the path of a Hyundai Tucson driven by a 57-year-old Port Richey man around 5:30 p.m., FHP said.

The collision sent the Lexus across the median and into the southbound lanes, where it struck a Chevy Silverado towing a trailer, driven by a 27-year-old Tampa man, and an Amazon delivery van driven by a 27-year-old Tarpon Springs man.

The Lexus driver suffered serious injuries and was airlifted to a hospital, FHP said. The other three drivers were uninjured in the crash.
