SEMINOLE, Fla. — A man was killed in a chain-reaction crash involving six vehicles Tuesday afternoon in western Pinellas County, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Troopers responded around 2:25 p.m. to the area of 102nd Avenue and 97th Street in Seminole on a report of the crash.
They say an SUV, driven by a 55-year-old St. Petersburg man, was heading east on 102nd Avenue when he somehow failed to slow or stop and crashed into the back of another SUV.
That collision caused other vehicles already stopped or slowing down near the intersection to get involved, according to the FHP crash report.
The man died at the scene of the crash. Two other people, a 46-year-old Seminole woman and a 75-year-old Largo man, were taken to local hospitals with minor injuries.
