A couple had a narrow escape when a car driven by four drunken youths struck them. This major accident took place on 54th Avenue N. near 22nd street N. by the Cracker Barrel Old country store in St Petersburg Florida. The car came to a halt at the red light when these young boys overlooked the signal and crashed into the car with great speed.

The couple was saved because of security measures like seat belts and air bags in the car. After the investigation was complete, the accused had to give a penalty fee to the victim. The couple got the insurance claim after they placed the demand, as it was the fault of the other party involved in the accident.
