The crash was first reported around 7:15 Friday morning at the intersection of Lyons Road and Spanish Isles Boulevard. There is no traffic control device that intersection which is often dangerous due to the speed of cars on Lyons Road and the huge amount of morning and afternoon traffic generated by parents trying to get their kids to and from Whispering Pines.
