Clearwater, FL (November 20, 2018) - Two people sustained injuries when a car collided with a building in Clearwater on Monday, November 19th. Around 1:00 pm, a 2017 Ford Focus ran a stop sign on Americus Boulevard South and crashed through the building.
Several people were inside at the time of the crash. The Florida Highway Patrol reports that 84-year-old Barbara Ellen Anderson and another 77-year-old were taken to the hospital with injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening. The 77-year-old was inside the building while Anderson was operating the vehicle.
Police believe that Anderson was at fault for causing the crash and have charged her with negligent operation of a motor vehicle.
Reportable accidents occur 92 seconds in Florida. Car accidents happen at all hours of the day and can take place anywhere. Even people inside of buildings, who presume they should be safe from a car accident, can be affected under the wrong circumstances as we see here. Fortunately, it appears as though the injuries sustained are not life-threatening and that everyone will have a full recovery.
