CLEARWATER, Fla. — The Clearwater Police Department (CPD) said this afternoon an 83-year-old man drove his car through the wall of a house on the 2900 block of Heather Trail.
The man said his foot slipped from the brake to the gas when he was still in the garage. Thankfully, the man only suffered a minor cut to his hand and was not hospitalized, officers said.
Clearwater firefighters accessed the structural safety of the house.
“This is just an insult.”
Florida’s new budget includes millions of dollars in pay raises for Florida Highway Patrol troopers after the state agency has struggled to fill positions and retain troopers. But an FHP advocate says the raises don’t go far enough.
