OLDSMAR, Fla. — A 6-year-old girl has passed away after she was critically injured in a two-vehicle crash at an intersection in Oldsmar on April 30.
Pinellas County Sheriff's Office (PCSO) said the girl succumbed to her injuries on May 6.
Deputies say the collision happened a little before 4:45 p.m. on April 30, when a Nissan Altima driven by 27-year-old Jayanna Clark and a Tesla Model 3 driven by 52-year-old Christy Proctor entered the intersection of Tampa Road and St. Petersburg Drive at the same time and collided.
Proctor was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. Clark also sustained minor injuries, along with a 4-year-old boy who suffered serious injuries. The 6-year-old girl was transported to the hospital with life-threatening injuries at the time.
PCSO said the boy has been released from the hospital.
Investigators believe speed was a factor in the crash, but impairment was not.
The investigation is ongoing.
