Two adults and their children were injured in an accident that happened on the North Dale Mabry Highway. Police from Tampa were called to the scene and found that the accident took place close to an intersection in the area.
The accident happened right across from the All New West Stadium Club in Tampa. The crash occurred when a Toyota sideswiped a Nissan that was traveling southbound as well. The Toyota was trying to overtake the Nissan on the highway. The Nissan ended up with the most damage.
Two drivers and two children were immediately pulled out of the vehicle. Both the drivers were female. The two drivers received minor injuries, while both of the children, a boy, and a girl, suffered severe injuries. None of the occupants were wearing their seatbelts. The children were 8 and 6.
No charges have yet been filed.
