RIVERVIEW, Fla. — Two people were killed in a three-car collision on the evening of Christmas Day in Riverview.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, a Hyundai Sonata was driving west on Ambleside Boulevard when it drove into the path of a Kia Optima that was going northbound on U.S. 301.
After the initial crash, the Sonata spun and hit a GMC Acadia driving south on U.S. 301.
The Florida Highway Patrol said two Palm Harbor women in the back seat of the Sonata died as a result of the crash. The driver of the Sonata, an 87-year-old Palm Harbor man, suffered minor injuries in the crashes.
The drivers and passengers in the other cars had minor injuries or were not injured.
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.
