“According to the Largo Police Department, 10-year-old Jabari Elijah Solomon and 4-year-old Charlie Herbert Solomon Riviera were killed when a Dodge Durango collided with a Kia Soul turning left at an intersection at 1:45 p.m. Saturday.”
“Police have not identified the drivers but said several people, who have not been identified by law enforcement, have been hospitalized with “serious injuries.” An investigation is ongoing.
The Herald said the school had declined to comment on if Hayes had any injuries and how severe they were.. The drivers of the vehicles have not been identified, nor has it been identified which vehicle Hayes was in. He’s a native of Largo.
