STARKE— The Florida Highway Patrol said a 26-year-old man was driving east on Southeast 144th Avenue in Bradford County during the evening of Tuesday, March 22, drove across State Road 100 and into the parking lot of a Circle K gas station.

The SUV hit the front of a parked car at a gas pump, then hit the gas pump itself, along with the 19-year-old who had been standing at the pump next to the car.

Both men were transported to area hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries.
