CLEARWATER

Vice Mayor John Doran ran a downtown red light Thursday morning, crashing his antique Jeep into another vehicle and sending the driver to the hospital with a cut to his face, police said. Doran, 61, was headed east on Chestnut Street in his 1963 red Willys Wagon about 9:30 a.m. when he ran the light at Myrtle Avenue and hit the passenger side of a black 1982 Toyota Supra going south, police said. The Supra's driver, Robert Subie, 58, of Tarpon Springs had a cut on his right cheek and was taken to Morton Plant Hospital. "I'm sorry he got hurt. I feel really bad," Doran said. Police cited Doran, who said he was not injured, for running a red light. The fine is typically $185.50.

County's TV station gets a new name

In December, the Pinellas County government access television station got a new number on the digital dial. Now, it has a new name. What was Pinellas 18 is now Pinellas County Connection Television. County officials say the new name represents the channel's mission of connecting people to their government.

The channel broadcasts government meetings and other programs. Pinellas County Connection Television can be found on Bright House Networks Ch. 622 and Knology Ch. 18.
