There will be about 400,000 reportable crashes in Florida this year. Of this number, about 250,000 victims will be injured with injuries ranging from minor to catastrophic. Major roadways, such as the Palmetto Expressway, are the site of many serious crashes due to higher traffic volume, higher speed limits, and a more concentrated area of negligent drivers.
We hope that the victim in this crash is able to make a complete recovery.
