The Pinellas Park Police Department continues to investigate a single vehicle crash on Bryan Dairy Road just west of US-19. The crash occurred shortly after 8 p.m. on Saturday, March 16, 2019.
A red Ford pickup truck, towing a trailer, was traveling in the inside eastbound lane of Bryan Dairy. For an unknown reason, while approaching a bend in the roadway, the truck and trailer left the roadway and traveled into the center median.
The trailer ultimately separated from the truck but the driver continued to travel eastbound on Bryan Dairy Road. At one point in time, the vehicle was in the westbound lanes of travel. The male driver navigated back over the median and into the correct lanes of travel while approaching US-19.
The driver did return to the scene approximately 4 1/2 minutes later while driving the truck westbound on the pedestrian sidewalk on the south side of the road.
