Paramedics reportedly needed more than a half hour to free a seriously injured woman from a car involved in a collision yesterday afternoon at Webber Street and Shade Avenue. A Dodge Dakota driven by 26-year-old Mitchel Grek of Sarasota collided with a Nissan Versa driven by 18-year-old Anya McCormick of St. Petersburg. Paramedics airlifted a passenger in the Dakota, 28-year-old Gina Ruiz of Sarasota, to Blake Medical Center. Grek, McCormick and McCormick’s passenger, 20-year-old Lindsey Medeiros of Sarasota, were treated for minor injuries at Sarasota Memorial Hospital.
