Lightning legend Lecavalier 'OK' after hospitalization following bus crash
Former Tampa Bay Lightning forward Vincent Lecavalier was one of three people sent to a Tampa Bay hospital following an accident that involved three buses Saturday.
The accident occurred around 1:40 p.m. on the Selmon Expressway when the lead bus was hit as it slowed down to exit the toll road by a trailing second bus, the Florida Highway Patrol said, according to Fox 13 News. A third bus then ran into the back of the second bus.
All three buses were en route to Tampa's annual Gasparilla parade.
The three passengers sent to the hospital all sustained minor injuries. Lecavalier's agent, Kent Hughes, said the 38-year-old is OK, according to Stephen Whyno of The Associated Press.
Two drivers have been cited for careless driving in relation to the incident, according to the Florida Highway Patrol's accident report, per Fox 13 News.
