A 20-year-old non-University of Tampa student was involved in a motorcycle accident on Kennedy Blvd. late Friday night while on his way home from work at Tampa General Hospital. Henry Hernandez was heading eastbound on Kennedy when a driver of a silver four-door Chevy Impala pulled out in front of him, and he collided with the front driver’s side fender.
Four UT students heard the crash as they stood outside of Austin Hall and came to see what happened.
According to the four UT witnesses, the driver of the motorcycle got into the car with the driver of the silver Impala to go to a bank and get money.
“He was like ‘watch my bike, I’m fine,’” said UT junior Alex Luce.
Hernandez and the driver of the car, a middle-aged woman who wished to not reveal her name, agreed to not involve the police. Hernandez got in the car and the two drove to a nearby bank.
According to Hernandez, the driver of the Impala was not able to take out more than $200 from the ATM, so they agreed on a payment plan.
“She is going to pay me $2,500 on Tuesday, and $3,000 the next month,” Hernandez said.
Neither party was seriously injured, but Hernandez did say that his shoulder hurt him a little bit.
