PORT RICHEY -- An 86-year old New Port Richey man died from injuries he received in a Saturday car crash near Gulf View Square mall, the Florida Highway Patrol reported Sunday.

Homer Milton Jones, 7542 Betula Drive, died at 5:52 p.m. at Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petersburg. Jones was flown there with his wife, Martha, 87, after the collision at Holiday Hills Boulevard and U.S. 19 at 2:25 p.m.

According to a report, Homer Jones was driving east on Holiday Hills when, witnesses said, he drove through a red light into the intersection and into the path of a 2000 Mazda driven by 18-year-old James Franklin Morris, 5908 Tern Drive, New Port Richey.

Morris was not wearing a seat belt, but his two passengers -- Daniel Racine, 6013 Adams St., and Domenick Aguhart, 7526 Coventry Drive, both 11 from Port Richey -- were. The three of them were taken to local hospitals, where their conditions were unavailable Sunday afternoon.

Martha Jones was in the intensive care unit at Bayfront Hospital on Sunday night.
