Tampa, FL (January 13, 2019) - Two women were killed in a scooter crash in Tampa on Saturday, January 12th. The accident took place at the intersection of Florida Avenue and Garland Court around 4:30 pm.
The Florida Highway Patrol responded to the scene. Investigators determined that the scooter was traveling westbound on Garland and attempted to make a left turn onto Florida Avenue. The scooter turned left in front of an oncoming SUV and collided with the vehicle. Both women were thrown from the scooter. One of the victims was pronounced dead on the scene and the other passed away later at a nearby hospital. Neither women has been identified at this time.
