Crash in Ybor City: If You Were Injured, Stockwell Law Is Here for You

Late last Saturday night, the historic Tampa district of Ybor City was rocked by a devastating crash when a speeding vehicle, reportedly fleeing law enforcement, plowed into a crowd gathered outside a popular bar in the 1500 block of East 7th Avenue. Tragically, four people lost their lives and at least eleven others were injured in the incident.

What Happened

According to the Tampa Police Department and the Florida Highway Patrol, the vehicle was observed street-racing and driving recklessly on I-275 before exiting into Ybor City. Law enforcement attempted a PIT maneuver, but the driver lost control and crashed into the business’s patio area, striking multiple pedestrians.

Why It Matters

If you were among those injured — whether you're hospitalized now or facing lingering symptoms from the crash — it’s critical to know your rights and understand your options. Incidents like this often involve complex facts: wrongful death, pedestrian liability, third-party negligence, and more.

That’s where Stockwell Law comes in.
