Roadside Memorial

I frequently see these roadside memorials along the roads and highways were I live.

The Tarpon Springs Police Department has released more information in a fatal crash that occurred on Sunday afternoon along U.S. 19 and Beckett Way.

According to the police department, the wreck occurred just before 3:30 p.m. when a vehicle slammed into a traffic control post and burst into flames. Officer John Gibson and a Pinellas County Sheriff’s deputy both spotted the wreck about the same time. The officers worked together to try and put out the flames, but had no luck. They pulled a female passenger out of the car, but were unable to rescue the male driver, an email from the police department stated.

The woman, police said, was taken to Bayonet Hospital where she later died. The man died at the scene.

Police have identified the two victims as Pamela Guthrie, 33, of New Port Richey, and Justin Dewar, 33 of Port Richey.
