OLDSMAR, Fla. \u2014 Four people, including two children, were injured in a crash Thursday afternoon in Oldsmar.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It happened at around 4:45 p.m. According to the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office, 27-year-old Jayanna Clark was driving eastbound on Tampa Road in a 2015 Nissan Altima.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Investigators say as she was approaching the intersection of St. Petersburg Drive, 52-year-old Christy Proctor, who was driving a 2021 Tesla Model 3, was facing westbound in the turn lane on Tampa Road to go south onto St. Petersburg Drive.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Both cars entered the intersection at the same time and crashed in the middle, officials say. Proctor and Clark were taken to the hospital for minor injuries.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Two children were in the car alongside Clark. Authorities say a 6-year-old girl was taken to the hospital for life-threatening injuries, and a 4-year-old boy was also transported for serious injuries.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Investigators say speed appears to be a factor in this crash, but not impairment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
