Three people who were injured in a car crash at the intersection of University Avenue and Southwest 34th Street on Sunday afternoon are recovering.
Riley Sullivan, 20, is in stable condition after having surgery at Shands at UF, said Cpl. Angelina Valuri, Gainesville Police spokeswoman. Sullivan has a spinal fracture.
Barry Guertin, 49, and Caline McDermott, 32, were taken to North Florida Regional Medical Center after suffering minor injuries in the crash. A GPD news release Sunday afternoon incorrectly stated that four people were injured in the crash.
Alachua County Fire Rescue Services drove Sullivan to Shands at UF with life-threatening injuries, according to Gainesville Police. Gainesville Fire Rescue drove McDermott to North Florida Medical, and a family member took Guertin there.
Guertin and McDermott were treated for injuries in the emergency room and released the same day.
The crash happened when Sullivan, driving a silver Kia Optima, sped north at around 4:30 p.m. Sunday on Southwest 34th Street toward cars parked in both left-hand turn lanes. The Optima hit the left rear side of a green Mitsubishi Eclipse and the driver's side of a silver Chevy Cobalt, according to Gainesville Police.
The Optima continued moving forward, slamming into the back of a white Honda Odyssey.
