Two Major Tampa Car Crashes Injure Numerous Children

Two recent car crashes in Tampa have caused numerous injuries to children. Although every car accident injury deserves attention, those that affect children are particularly shocking. If your child was injured in a car crash, you might face medical bills, stress, and even the loss of income as you care for your young one. Can a Tampa car accident lawyer help you recover compensation?

Young Woman Severely Injures Two Teens in Tampa Bay Area

In October of 2025, Fox 13 News reported that a young driver had struck and severely injured two teens in Hudson. The Tampa Bay Area crash left the two victims with organ damage and numerous fractures. The incident was particularly heinous because the young female driver tried to flee after striking the drivers. Fortunately, the woman was eventually apprehended by law enforcement.

The woman was driving a pickup truck, and the impact was so severe that the boys’ parents thought that they were not going to make it. A week after the incident, they are still receiving treatment at a local hospital. However, doctors are hopeful that they will survive. The teens were reportedly riding their bikes at the time of the crash, and they were “on their way to get snacks” from a local convenience store.

The woman responsible faces criminal charges, although authorities have released her from jail pending her trial. She faces two counts of leaving the scene of an accident involving serious injuries. It is not clear whether she also faces a personal injury lawsuit from the families, but this is certainly a possibility.

School Bus Crash Leaves Two Children Injured 

Another recent incident in Tampa involved a school bus crash that left two students injured. Officials say that the driver of a Dodge Durango suffered some kind of “medical episode” before veering into a school bus and striking it head-on. The impact injured two children on board the school bus, and the driver of the bus was also hurt.

However, the person who suffered the worst injuries was the driver of the Durango. First responders say that he experienced a broken leg and other unspecified injuries. After the crash, he was in critical condition. However, doctors now expect him to survive.

School bus crashes have become all too common, not only in Florida but also across the country. Some of these crashes are caused by negligent drivers of other vehicles, but school bus operators may also contribute to these accidents. Parents are obviously concerned about the frequency of these crashes, and lawsuits against school boards may represent the only real way to improve safety.
