Riley Hancock suffers injuries in Ybor City pedestrian collision, FHP says

YBOR CITY, FL (Nov. 9, 2025) – The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating a horrific pedestrian crash that killed four people and injured 13 others early Saturday in Ybor City.

According to troopers, a silver 2019 Toyota Camry was spotted street racing on I-275 around 12:44 a.m. When an officer attempted to stop the vehicle, the driver fled east on Seventh Avenue. The pursuit was terminated due to heavy pedestrian traffic, but surveillance continued.

Moments later, the Camry swerved to avoid a Jeep at Seventh Avenue and 15th Street, hitting a Mazda before crashing into pedestrians gathered outside Bradley’s Bar. Among the injured was Riley Hancock, who sustained 10 spinal fractures, six broken ribs, a collapsed lung, and a lacerated liver. He also suffered a severe head wound requiring over 100 stitches and staples and remains hospitalized at Tampa General Hospital.

The 22-year-old driver tried to flee on foot but was captured. Authorities said he showed signs of impairment, and his blood sample is pending analysis. The suspect faces multiple felony charges.


CRASH INVESTIGATION

“It’s essential to determine the precise cause of tragic crashes like this,” said Candice Bond, Managing Partner with Bond Legal. “An attorney has the resources to review insurance coverage, hire expert witnesses, conduct background checks, and locate key witnesses. Our goal is to help victims and their families navigate the legal process.”

Bond emphasized the importance of conducting an independent investigation as early as possible to preserve crucial evidence.

“In addition to the police report, legal teams analyze every factor that may have contributed to the crash,” Bond explained. “An experienced lawyer can coordinate expert evaluations, interview witnesses, and review available footage or records. By serving as an advocate, an attorney helps ensure injury victims receive the justice and support they deserve,” she added.


PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Riley Hancock may be eligible to pursue a personal injury claim, depending on the results of the ongoing investigation.

Stefano Formica, Of Counsel at Bond Legal, stated, “Victims who suffer serious injuries in collisions often file personal injury claims to recover costs related to medical treatment, rehabilitation, lost income, emotional distress, and long-term suffering.”

“Insurance companies rarely prioritize victims’ needs or fully acknowledge the financial strain caused by such crashes,” Formica added. “That’s why having a dedicated attorney is crucial—to ensure injured individuals receive proper compensation and are not left to bear the burden alone.”
