FHP Releases Names Of Six Teens In Early Tuesday Crash; Charges Filed
June 19, 2008
The Florida Highway Patrol has released the names of six people in a one vehicle accident on Highway 4 between Bratt and Bryneville just before 2:00 Tuesday morning. Two were taken to area hospitals.
The FHP says the 1999 GMC pickup truck was driven by Michael P. Trentman, 17, of Walnut Hill. Passengers were Joshua D. Nix, 17, of Century; Anthony Trentman, 15, of Walnut Hill; Brittany Brown, 17, of Century; Colton Brown, age unknown, of Century; and Talisa Presley, 16 of Century.
Talisa Presley was transported by LifeFlight to Baptist Hospital in Pensacola where her injuries were classified as minor. Colton Brown was transported by ambulance to Jay Hospital where his injuries were listed as minor. The four other teens were not injured.
The accident happened on Highway 4 near the Canoe Creek bridge, about two miles west of Byrneville.
Their westbound pickup truck veered off the right side of the highway where Trentman overcorrected and ran off the other side of the road, where the truck overturned when it struck a culvert just past the bridge. All six exited the vehicle and walked about 200 feet west to the nearest residence.
Trentman was charged with Failure to Use Due Care and Curfew Violation. Florida’s curfew law states that a driver 17 or under must be accompanied by a licensed adult 21 or older between 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.
All six were wearing their seat belts and alcohol was not a factor in the accident, according to the FHP.
The Walnut Hill Volunteer Fire Department and the Century Volunteer Fire Department both responded to the early morning call.
