DUNEDIN, Fla. (WFLA) — A teenager was seriously injured in a late-night crash along the Dunedin Causeway on Tuesday.
According to the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office, James Schwimer, 22, was driving a SUV recklessly on the sand with five passengers inside, including four 17-year-old boys.
One of the teenagers sustained serious, but non-life threatening, injuries in the crash.
There were no signs Schwimer was impaired at the time, but reckless driving is believed to have contributed to the crash, according to PCSO.
