Two people are injured, and northbound lanes of U.S. 19 were closed early Friday afternoon after a crash, Clearwater Police said.
The crash happened on U.S. 19 North in the area of Seville Blvd.
Police originally said one driver died at the scene but later issued a correction that the driver is in critical condition. The other motorist involved was taken to a nearby hospital with what was described as non-life-threatening injuries.
Clearwater Police said drivers should expect delays as the northbound lanes are expected to be closed for an “extended time” as they investigate the crash.
