CITRUS COUNTY, Fla. — A woman was seriously injured in Citrus County after she was hit by a car while standing in the median after an earlier crash.
According to FHP, a Dodge Ram truck was driving north on Lecanto Highway when it crossed the yellow dividing line. The Ram truck then collided with a Hyundai Sonata that was driving south on Lecanto Highway.
After the initial accident, the driver of the Dodge Ram got out of her truck and stood in the center median. While standing there, FHP said a Nissan Versa attempted to go around the crashed vehicles and hit her.
FHP said the driver of the Ram truck was taken to a local hospital with serious injuries. The driver of the Hyundai was also taken to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Brides, families fighting for refunds after event venue closes suddenly
“We’ve struggled so hard to scrape the money to be able to do this for her,” Irizarry said. “She’s my only girl and I wanted this so much for her.”
Couples and families who had weddings and events planned at a well-known venue that abruptly closed claim they’re out thousands of dollars and aren’t being given refunds. Annette Irizarry was supposed to hold her 15-year-old daughter’s quinceañera in August at the Clearwater location and said she’s now out the $6,160 she paid. Without that money, Irizarry said she can’t afford to have her daughter’s celebration somewhere else.
