Englewood, FL (May 10, 2025) – A two-car crash on Wednesday evening, May 7, led to one person losing their life and forced authorities to close part of North Indiana Avenue for several hours as the scene was investigated.

The Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that the collision took place around 8:56 p.m. at 70 North Indiana Avenue. Emergency crews were quickly dispatched to the area, where they discovered significant damage to both vehicles involved in the wreck.

While investigators have not yet released full details regarding the events leading up to the crash, it has been confirmed that one person died as a result of their injuries. The identity of the deceased individual has not been released pending family notification. Responders closed the surrounding portion of the road to clear debris and complete a full review of the scene. Authorities continue to investigate the cause of the crash.

We extend our deepest condolences to the family of the individual who lost their life in this crash.

Car Accidents in Florida

Florida is no stranger to serious motor vehicle accidents. On average, more than 1,000 crashes happen every day across the state, leading to thousands of serious injuries and hundreds of fatalities each month. Statewide efforts continue to focus on improving safety through better infrastructure, traffic law enforcement, and public awareness.

Let’s look at several injury types that are common in crashes like the one in Englewood:

Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): Even a mild concussion can have lasting effects. TBIs often result from sudden head impacts and can lead to memory loss, dizziness, or long-term cognitive challenges.
Spinal Cord Injuries: The spine is highly vulnerable in high-impact crashes. Injuries can range from slipped discs to permanent paralysis, depending on the location and severity.
Internal Organ Damage: Internal bleeding or damage to organs like the lungs, liver, or kidneys can be life-threatening and often isn’t visible right away. Immediate medical attention is crucial.
Bone Fractures: Broken ribs, arms, legs, and hips are common. These injuries can require extensive healing time and, in some cases, surgical intervention and physical therapy.
Facial Injuries and Scarring: When airbags deploy or shattered glass strikes the face, cuts, bruising, or long-term scarring may result, often requiring reconstructive treatment.
