CLEARWATER BEACH, Fla. — Clearwater Police arrested a man after a wrong-way crash on Clearwater Beach late Friday night (July 26).
The crash happened just after 9 p.m. on Mandalay Avenue and Papaya Street.
The driver of a 2005 Dodge Durango, later identified as Don Carr, 63, was headed south in the northbound lanes and crashed into an oncoming Mazda SUV.
Carr is being charged with DUI with property damage and was cited for driving the wrong way and careless driving. He was booked into the Pinellas County Jail after first being checked out at a local hospital.
There were no injuries reported to those in the other vehicle, which included a driver and three small children.
“You threw my son under the bus. You didn't take care of him.”
The State of Florida and the VA are under scrutiny after the Baker Act was used incorrectly on a young veteran who went to a Florida VA hospital for help.
