Seven Mile Bridge, FL (July 24, 2018) – A head-on collision on the Seven Mile Bridge on Monday led to five injuries. Three of those people were seriously injured in the collision that took place around noon.
The three with serious injuries were quickly transported to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office Aviation Unit where trauma helicopters met them and flew them to a hospital. Authorities were working at the accident scene and closed the bridge in both directions while first responders treated the patients.
The accident took place when 37-year-old Christian Charapata was driving his Mustang and drifted over the center line and into a Hyundai driven by 48-year-old Mark Campbell. Both drivers were in serious condition and had a variety of passengers with them who were also injured.
Right now, the Florida Highway Patrol continues its investigation.
