A fatal crash occurred in Clearwater early Sunday morning between a pickup truck and a tractor-trailer, city authorities said.

Clearwater Police and Fire and Rescue departments responded to the crash just after 1:30 a.m. in the 1200 block of Gulf Boulevard.

The crash involved a pickup and a tractor-trailer. One person in the pickup died, while a second was taken to Bayfront Health St. Petersburg with serious injuries, according to a city of Clearwater press release.

Gulf Boulevard in the Sand Key area has been closed to traffic as the investigation continues.

No other details are available at this time.

When debris from a tractor struck their vehicle on I-75, Denise and Mike Brennan were told by a state contractor that "they will take care of it." Now, more than six months later, the Brennans are still $7000 out-of-pocket for repairs and rentals.
