10-year-old driver causes crash on I-275 in St. Petersburg

Troopers from the Florida Highway Patrol are currently investigating a crash involving a 10-year-old driver.

The child was driving a Nissan Altima northbound on I-275 approaching I-375 in the left lane.

The driver of a second vehicle, a Ford F250, was traveling northbound in the center lane ahead of the Nissan. The driver of the Nissan overtook and sideswiped the F250.

After the initial impact, the Nissan rotated and collided with the bridge rail along the outside shoulder of the roadway.

The 10-year-old child from St. Petersburg who had taken the vehicle from a family member without permission, suffered minor injuries.

The driver of the F250, a 27-year-old Wimauma man, and his two adult male passengers were uninjured during the incident.
