St. Petersburg, FL (January 16, 2019) - Two drivers were hurt in crash that took place in St. Petersburg on Monday, January 14th.
The crash took place just after 5:00 am near the intersection of First Avenue S and 48th Street. 23-year-old Joseph Caradonna was driving a 2001 Toyota Tundra eastbound on First Avenue. At the same time, 28-year-old Kerry Rashad Murphy was driving a 2002 Mercury southbound on 48th.
The Mercury failed to yield at the intersection and collided with the Tundra. Both drivers sustained serious injuries and were taken to the hospital.
The St. Petersburg Police Department is investigating the crash. There is no word on any charges at this time.
