A Honda was wrecked at 10th Avenue and Seven Springs Boulevard in Greenacres.

A 2018 Honda CRV driven by a 46-year-old Greenacres man was making a left turn onto Seven Springs Boulevard from 10th Avenue North.

The Ford struck the front passenger fender of the Honda, which went counterclockwise to an uncontrolled stop on the grass shoulder. The Ford was redirected counterclockwise into a cement utility pole, which fell onto a parked 2010 Cadillac CTS.

As the pole fell, an electrical wire struck a 33-year-old man riding a bicycle westbound on the north shoulder of 10th Ave.

The Mustang driver suffered critical injuries with a Honda driver seriously injured and the bicyclist had minor injuries.

Jherry Brown, who owns 561 Loc Lounge hair salon on 10th Avenue North, told WPTV her car was struck by the utiltiy pole. Brown, who submitted video to WPTV, said she had just got out of her Cadillac when the crash occurred.
