FHP: Speed Was A Factor In Serious McDavid Crash That Injures Century Man
June 13, 2008
A Century man was seriously injured in a one vehicle accident on Highway 29 in McDavid Friday morning. The accident happened near the intersection of Highway 29 and Highway 164 about 6:50 Friday morning.
The Florida Highway Patrol says Andrew Davis, 22, of Century was southbound on Highway 29 at a high rate of speed when he apparently ran off the road near Watson’s Convenience Store, struck a highway signpost and culvert. He then became airborne and overturned onto the highway. Davis was ejected. There were no passengers.
Davis was transported from the scene by LifeFlight with critical injuries to Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola.
Highway 29 remained completely closed for about an hour while southbound traffic backed up for several miles.
The FHP says Davis was not wearing a seatbelt and that charges are pending. Alcohol was not believed to be a factor in the accident. .
