CLEARWATER, Fla. — The pedestrian who was hospitalized Friday morning after a crash on Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard in Clearwater has died, authorities say.
Isaiah Edward Baker Castellano, 19, was riding a skateboard in the crosswalk and crossing on a green light when the driver of a crane truck ran a red light and hit Castellano, a spokesperson for the city of Clearwater said.
It happened just before 7:30 a.m. in the westbound lanes of Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard, east of Old Coachman Road. At the time, Castellano was transported to the hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Investigators did not detect any signs of impairment and say the driver of the crane truck is cooperating.
Westbound lanes of Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard were shut down for several hours but have since reopened.
