Manatee County, FL (August 12, 2021) - Two people were injured in a car accident that happened on Thursday in Manatee County. The crash occurred on University Parkway just east of Tuttle Avenue.
The Florida Highway Patrol was dispatched to the area just after the collision occurred. Troopers say that a 62-year-old Bradenton man was traveling on University when he lost control of his vehicle and crossed the median. As he entered the opposite travel lane, his car collided with a pickup driven by a 43-year-old man from Bradenton. The pickup then crashed into a sedan that was operated by a 55-year-old Bonita Springs man. The sedan crashed into a pickup truck before all four vehicles came to rest.
Both the 62-year-old and the 43-year-old were taken to a hospital with serious injuries. No other injuries were reported due to the accident. The cause of the collision remains under investigation at this time. There is no further information available.
