ST. PETERSBURG — An 84-year-old man who was hospitalized last week after a car crash on Ninth Ave N and 49th Street died of his injuries Friday night at Bayfront Medical Center.
Jesse Leo Nash had been hospitalized since the collision, which happened around 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday.
At the time, Nash was driving a 2005 Chevy Malibu on 49th Street when he tried to turn left onto Ninth Avenue N and crashed head-on into the left front of a southbound 2009 Chevy Malibu driven by Raymond Michael Gallace Jr., 21, police said.
Nash had not been wearing a seat belt, officials said.
His wife, Geraldine Nash, 83, was the passenger in the car at the time and was treated and released from Bayfront Medical Center with minor injuries last week. Gallace was unharmed in the crash.
