Holmes Beach man injured in LSV vs. truck crash

A low-speed vehicle sits damaged in the roadway the night of Oct. 24 near the intersection of 52nd Street and Gulf Drive in Holmes Beach after colliding with a pickup truck traveling in the opposite direction. Holmes Beach Police Chief Bill Tokajer said the LSV driver apparently lost control of the steering. He was ejected in the crash and sustained serious injuries. The truck had only minor damage, and its driver was unhurt. The LSV driver, a resident of South Harbor Drive, was transported with injuries to HCA Florida Blake Hospital in Bradenton.
