ST. PETERSBURG — Colin Scott Knapp, 18, was cited for careless driving after his car smashed into a concrete mailbox and flipped onto its roof.

Debris from the crash hit a nearby home and shattered a window. Knapp was taken to Bayfront Medical Center with minor injuries.
He was issued traffic tickets for careless driving and having an attached tag not assigned.
