Two people were seriously injured in a crash at the intersection of U.S. 41 and State Road 70 in Manatee County, the Florida Highway Patrol said.
Around noon Friday, two drivers were approaching U.S. 41 from opposite directions along State Road 70 when the 31-year-old driver of a Chevy Cruz made a left turn in front of the 67-year-old driver of a Chevy Equinox, according to a crash report.
Troopers say the Equinox struck the right side of the Cruz, causing serious injuries to passengers in both vehicles.
A 9-year-old girl in the Cruz was taken to All Children’s Hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries, according to a crash report. A 54-year-old woman in the Equinox was taken to Manatee Memorial Hospital with serious injuries, troopers say.
The drivers of both vehicles also sustained minor injuries and were taken to the hospital, according to a crash report.
The crash remains under investigation. Further information was not immediately available Friday evening.
