Andre Cadilla said he often takes the same route on his way home, navigating the roundabout at 40th Street and Hanna. He also said he’s seen his share of near accidents as people plow through the roundabout.
On Monday morning at 9:25 a.m., Cadilla was again on his way home when he entered the roundabout. Cadilla was driving in the part of the roundabout that doesn’t require him to yield.
A second vehicle, also traveling through the roundabout, was going through the section that does require you to yield. She didn’t, causing Cadilla to impact the driver’s side of her vehicle.
“After I hit her, she got out of the car and kept asking didn’t I see her. I did see her, and I expected her to obey the yield sign and not keep driving. However, she just barreled through and didn’t even slow down.”
A Tampa Police officer at the scene was overheard telling the woman driver repeatedly that she was supposed to yield going through the roundabout.
Cadilla’s car had to be towed from the scene, and the woman driver was cited in the accident.
