Two Women Seriously Injured In SUV Crash On US 19 In Palmetto
Manatee County - Florida Highway Patrol has announced that two people are in serious condition after an SUV vs SUV accident early Wednesday morning in Manatee County.
The crash began as a 32-year-old woman from Bradenton Florida was driving a Sport Utility Vehicle northbound in the right lane of US 19 south of the intersection with 52nd Street West.
As the woman from Bradenton traveled north toward 52nd Street West, a 35-year-old woman from St Petersburg was driving an SUV southbound in the left lane of US 19 north of the intersection with 52nd Street West.
For reasons unknown at 7:30 A.M., the 32-year-old from Bradenton swerved off the pavement and traveled across the median entering the path of the oncoming SUV driven by the 35-year-old woman from St Petersburg.
The two SUVs crashed into each other head-on. After crossing the median and crashing into the other SUV, the northbound SUV was redirected to the west and overturned in a ditch west of US 19.
The force of the crash caused the southbound SUV to rotate before it came to rest on US 19 in the left lane.
