Sarasota County, FL (May 23, 2019) - A 31-year-old Venice man is dead after crashing into a bus on Thursday, May 23rd. The crash happened on the US-41 Bypass, near Center Road.
Reports from the Florida Highway Patrol indicate that a Sarasota Transit Bus was stopped in a left turn lane when it was struck from behind by a 2010 Toyota Corolla driven by the 31-year-old man. The man's car struck the bus before coming to rest across the left turn and straight lanes of the roadway. The Corolla driver, who has not been identified, was killed in the crash. Neither the bus driver nor the lone passenger suffered any injuries.
The Florida Highway Patrol is still investigating the crash and its cause. No further details are available at this time.
A fatal crash is reported approximately once every three hours in Florida. This means that there are eight or more traffic fatalities each day across our state. While no one ever gets into a car thinking that they could end up seriously injured or killed, the reality is that fatal crashes occur multiple times a day on our streets and highways.
There is no greater pain than losing a loved one to a fatal car accident. This is especially true when the accident was not their fault. If you have lost a loved one due to the negligence of another driver, you may be entitled to file a wrongful death claim on behalf of your deceased family member. Wrongful death claims allow for the recovery of certain expenses, such as medical bills and lost wages, on behalf of the deceased person.
