SEMI AND CAR INVOLVED IN CRASH ON CORTEZ BRIDGE
A semi tractor trailer and car were involved in a crash on the Cortez Bridge Tuesday morning.
A semi tractor trailer operated by George Gonzales of Brandon was traveling west on the Cortez Bridge Tuesday morning. For unknown reasons, he veered into oncoming traffic and struck a vehicle operated by Jonathan Quick of Bradenton Beach. After striking Mr. Quick's vehicle, the semi then crashed through the concrete guard rail with the cab hanging over the water. The driver of the semi had to escape through the passenger door. Mr. Gonzales is employed by Cummings Foods.
Mr. Quick could potentially have a claim against George Gonzales and Cummings Foods for any damages he suffered as a result of the collision, including a claim for the damages to his vehicle, loss of use of the vehicle and for any personal injuries he received.
