Based on the video provided by WPLG, you can see a small eastbound vehicle attempting to make a left turn to head north on Curtiss Parkway.  That’s when another small westbound vehicle (which appears to have the green light in the video) clips the turning vehicle and spins it.  The westbound vehicle with the green light appears to impact a southbound white van that’s stopped on Curtiss Parkway, waiting to make a right turn.

Watch the video below:

 

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the injured and to the heart broken family members dealing with the tragic loss of a loved one.
