Both drivers suffered minor injuries in the crash, as well as a 38-year-old St. Petersburg woman who was a passenger in the car, troopers added.
However, the passenger’s 2-year-old son had been “incorrectly restrained in a car seat, which shifted upon impact,” leading the child to be ejected from the vehicle, the release reads.
The boy was seriously injured as a result.
