Truck crashes into Palm Aire home

A man in his 60s was injured in a Palm Aire home early Tuesday morning when a full-sized pickup truck missed a stop sign at an adjacent intersection and crashed into the Palm Aire property.

The Florida Highway Patrol said the 62-year-old sustained “non-incapacitating’’ injuries in the 12:30 a.m. crash at the corner of Tournament Boulevard and West Country Club Drive, which is just east of Lockwood Ridge Road.

In a report on the crash, the FHP said a Ford F-150, driven by a 54-year-old Sarasota man, was driving east on Tournament Boulevard, continued past the stop sign at the end of the street, left the pavement and crashed into the residence opposite the intersection.

Images of the neighborhood show an array of reflective warning signs directly across from the intersection of Tournament Boulevard, including one that indicates traffic must either turn right or left. All four wheels of the pickup made it into the home, breaking through the front of the building in the vicinity of a large window.

The driver was not hurt.

The crash remains under investigation.
