MANATEE COUNTY – A chain-reaction crash involving four vehicles sent multiple people to the hospital Monday afternoon at a busy Lakewood Ranch intersection, the Florida Highway Patrol reported.
The crash occurred at approximately 1:04 PM on April 21, 2025, at the intersection of State Road 70 and Greenbrook Boulevard.
According to FHP, a 2017 Infiniti SUV, driven by a 24-year-old Sarasota man, was traveling eastbound on State Road 70 in the middle lane when it failed to stop for a red traffic signal. Ahead of the Infiniti, a 2020 Kia Sedan, driven by a 56-year-old Lakewood Ranch woman, was stopped at the light facing south on SR-70 in the center lane. Also in the Kia was a juvenile passenger from Lakewood Ranch.
The Infiniti struck the rear of the Kia, propelling it across the intersection in a southeasterly direction. The Infiniti continued through the intersection, crossed the median, and entered the westbound lanes of SR-70.
There, it struck the left rear of a 2024 Mercedes SUV, which had been stopped at the red light in the westbound left lane. Immediately after, the Infiniti collided with the left side of a 2020 Honda sedan, which had been stopped in the westbound right lane behind the Mercedes.
The 56-year-old Kia driver and her juvenile passenger both sustained serious injuries and were transported to an area hospital. The Infiniti driver suffered minor injuries. The 16-year-old Mercedes driver and the 52-year-old driver of the Honda were uninjured or suffered minor injuries, respectively.
The Florida Highway Patrol continues to investigate the crash.
