Fiery Crash on US-301 Near Us

These photos from the Florida Highway Patrol show the aftermath of a crash at US-301 and Lake St. Charles Blvd. Sunday morning.

The FHP says the driver lost control driving south on 301 at about 6:30 a.m., hit the concrete median and the car went airborne. It crossed the northbound lanes, crashed through a fence and into the Law Office near us.

The driver ran away from the scene as the car and building caught fire.

Help Needed for Building Repairs

The HOA needs another unit owner to volunteer to have the interior walls of their unit examined for the structural defect repairs we will have done on our buildings. It entails cutting a piece of drywall out to see what's between the walls. A complete repair would happen the same day. Board members John McQuiston and Chris Longtine have had this done and another board member has agreed to have it done. We need one more. If you can help, contact our property manager Jen Robertson at (813) 349-6552 or StCharlesPlaceHOAmanagement@tampabay.rr.com.
