Lakeland, FL (December 26, 2019) - Several injuries were reported in a road-rage incident in Lakeland. The crash took place on Wednesday, December 25th.
According to reports, a Dodge Journey attempted to pass a Dodge Charger. The driver of the Charger refused to let the Journey pass. The two cars began increasing their speed until both collided with a red pickup truck. Multiple victims were transported to a local hospital for treatment. All have been released with the exception of a teenage passenger in one of the vehicles. That victim is listed in critical condition. No one involved in the crash has been identified.
There are no further details available at this time.
We are saddened to hear of this crash in Lakeland. Car accidents are reported about every 92 seconds in Florida. Sadly, many victims of Florida car crashes are innocent and had nothing to do with the cause of the crash itself. This applies both to other motorists as well as passengers who are victimized by a driver's negligence. In this case, it appears as though both drivers could be held legally responsible for the collision.
