One hurt in hit-and-run rollover crash on U.S. 41. Hotel’s security camera captures how it happened

A 19-year-old male from Bradenton is in critical condition after a hit-and-run rollover crash outside a hotel near Sarasota Bradenton International Airport.

Surveillance video at The Lantern Inn and Suites, 7251 N. Tamiami Trail, captured footage of the crash and the vehicle rolling through the hotel’s parking lot.

The incident occurred around 7:45 a.m. Thursday, according to Florida Highway Patrol.

The video shows the driver of a tan 2003 Kia Sedona attempting to turn left from the median of North Tamiami Trail into the entrance of a RaceTrac gas station. The Kia enters the path of a 2018 Audi A3 carrying the 19-year-old driver.

The driver of the Audi attempts to avoid a collision but is struck by the right front side of the Kia near the entrance to the hotel parking lot. The Audi then overturns several times and knocks out part of the wall around the hotel’s pool.

The Audi also hit a parked vehicle before coming to a final stop, according to FHP.

Photos from the crash scene show the vehicle came to a final stop on its roof.

The driver of the Audi was taken to Sarasota Memorial Hospital as a trauma alert, Cedar Hammock Battalion Chief Doug Brett said.

The driver of the turning vehicle fled the scene of the accident, according to FHP. The vehicle is described by troopers as a 2003 Kia Sedona with right front damage. Anyone with information about the driver or the crash is asked to contact Florida Highway Patrol at 941-751-8350 or Crime Stoppers at 866-634-TIPS.
