Last updated Sunday, April 13th, 2025

Port Richey, FL (April 13, 2025) – A vehicle crash that occurred on Saturday, April 12, caused injuries and significant delays in Port Richey. The collision happened around 8:36 p.m. near the intersection of U.S. Highway 19 and State Road 52, prompting a full emergency response and a partial roadblock in the area.

Local police, fire units, and medical crews rushed to the scene shortly after the call came in. Officials worked quickly to treat injured individuals and assess the scene. At least one person was hurt in the crash and was taken to a nearby medical facility for further treatment. The crash led to major slowdowns as vehicles were diverted away from the blocked intersection. Authorities remained at the scene into the night to investigate what led up to the crash. They are continuing to review traffic footage and gather witness statements to piece together the events that unfolded. The road was eventually cleared, and normal traffic resumed later that evening.

We send our best wishes to those recovering from injuries caused in this accident.

Car Accidents in Florida

Florida consistently ranks among the top states for vehicle accidents, with an average of more than 1,000 crashes per day. These accidents often result in injuries ranging from minor to life-threatening, especially in high-traffic corridors like U.S. Highway 19. Staying alert behind the wheel and driving responsibly are essential steps to help reduce these numbers.

Accidents often result in a wide range of challenges. Here are some things every victim should be aware of:

Insurance Company Delays: After a crash, victims may face difficulties with insurance companies that delay, undervalue, or deny claims. These issues often arise when insurers act in their own interest, hoping victims will settle quickly without understanding the full value of their claim. Having legal help ensures you’re treated fairly.
Unseen Injuries: Not all injuries are immediately obvious after a collision. Internal injuries, whiplash, and head trauma may appear days later. It’s important to seek medical evaluation right away, even if you feel fine initially.
Property Damage: Beyond personal injuries, crashes can result in serious vehicle damage. Whether your car is repairable or totaled, documenting the scene and damages is critical for insurance claims and potential legal proceedings.
Lost Wages: If an injury prevents you from working, the financial impact can be devastating. Many victims aren’t aware that they may be entitled to recover those lost wages through a personal injury claim.
Mental Health Effects: The emotional toll of a crash is often overlooked. Anxiety, PTSD, and sleep disturbances can follow an accident and deserve just as much attention as physical injuries. Mental health care should be part of your recovery plan.
