A 73-year-old Crystal Beach woman suffered serious injuries in a four-vehicle crash at US-19 and Oak Avenue at approximately 4:35 p.m. Wednesday, October 14, 2026.
The woman was driving a Lexus RX SUV westbound on Oak Avenue while a Hyundai Tucson, driven by a 57-year-old Port Richey man, was traveling northbound on US-19.
While attempting to cross the northbound lanes, the woman turned north into the Hyundai’s path, and the Hyundai struck her SUV.
The Hyundai came to rest along the east shoulder of US-19. The Lexus rotated across the median and entered the southbound lanes, where it struck a Chevrolet Silverado towing a trailer, followed by an Amazon delivery van.
A 27-year-old Tampa man was driving the Silverado. The delivery van was driven by a 27-year-old Tarpon Springs man.
The Lexus driver was flown by AeroMed to Orlando Health Bayfront Hospital in St. Petersbug with serious injuries. The other three drivers were uninjured.
