According to officials with the Clearwater Police Department, the incident took place on Sunday, February 7, 2021 between 4:15 a.m. and 4:20 a.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST) at 16 North Highland Avenue in Clearwater, FL. A man 24 years of age was driving a black 2006 Pontiac G6 sedan north on N Highland Avenue at a high rate of speed when, for unknown reasons still under investigation, he lost control of the vehicle and it slammed into a residence alongside the road. He had three passengers at the time, 21 years of age, 32 years of age, and 19 years of age.

The driver and one passenger were taken to St Joseph’s Hospital, while the two other passengers were taken to Bayfront Health St Petersburg.
