Van Crashes into Pickup Truck in Seminole and Injures 6

August 15, 2011 - Seminole, Fla - According to a report from Tampa Bay, a van crashed into a pickup truck on Saturday afternoon, August 6, resulting in 6 injuries.

Lily Williams, 56, of St. Petersburg, was heading west on Bay Pines Boulevard, in her 1991 Ford Econoline van, which was hauling a 23-foot boat trailer. She turned left into War Veterans Memorial Park and struck a pickup truck.  This caused her van to flip and the boat trailer to separate.

The pickup truck was being driven by David White, 23, of Redington Beach. He and his passenger, his brother, were taken to Morton Plant Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Williams had 6 relatives in her vehicle, 4 of them injured, including a 7- and 17-year-old. They were all taken to Bayfront Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries.

If someone else's negligence was the cause of your accident, then you should immediately speak with a St. Petersburg personal injury attorney to discuss your legal options.
