Molino Accident Severely Injures Cantonment Teen
November 11, 2008
A single vehicle accident seriously injured one person Monday night in Molino.
The accident happened about 9:50 on Molino Road near Veazey Lane. A 17-year old Cantonment resident’s Ford F150 pickup truck left Molino Road and plowed through a wooded area, coming to rest several yards into the woods.
The male driver sustained severe injuries and was transported by ambulance to the area of Nicholson Drive and Kemala Avenue and then transferred to LifeFlight. It was not immediately clear if the driver crawled out of the pickup or was ejected.
The accident is still under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol.
The Molino Station of Escambia Fire-Rescue and Escambia County EMS responded to the call.

A lot of kids as of lately have been getting stopped for speeding around here, my son included. I don’t want to have to go his graduation with one less classmate!
NORTHVIEW JUNIORS & SENIORS SLOW DOWN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
im so glad that he is okay!!
he almost gave me a heart attack for a second (:
i am so happy that he is doing fine
The 17 year old in the accident is at home and is doing fine, other than somes bumps and scrapes.
My prayers and best wishes go out to this teen and the family. This is a parent’s worst nightmare. I, too, have received a call from the ER room surgeon who was treating my daughter after her car was struck by a drunk driver.
Having said that, I travel the Molino highway frequently and most of it is a 45 mph zone. From the looks of this truck, this was not a 45 mph accident. The statistics for teens involved in deadly accidents is astounding. They must be made aware that “for every action, there is a reaction”. In my opinion, a 16-year-old does not have the maturity or good judgment to get behind the wheel of a 2000 pound vehicle without adult supervision. If this age limit is to prevail, we must find a way to educate our children that driving is privilege and not a right of passage.
