Seminole Fire Rescue personnel reported that two customers were injured inside and were transported by Sunstar to local hospitals for further medical evaluations. The two injured customers have been identified as 42 year-old Geraldine Coons and 53 year-old Christopher Coons of Seminole. The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office described all of the injuries as non-life threatening.

Deputies from the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office along with its Traffic Crash Investigators and a Sheriff’s Citizen Patrol Volunteer all assisted at the incident.. The cause of the crash is currently under investigation. Alcohol does not appear to be factor in the incident.
An employee at Little Greek Restaurant reports that they will be closed for the remainder of the day and are planning to reopen tomorrow morning at 11AM.
