Driver Charged After Hitting Gas Line In Molino Wreck
June 12, 2009
There were no injuries in Molino accident this afternoon that caused a gas leak that left the driver facing a careless driving charge.
The Florida Highway Patrol says Jason Grace, 29, of Pensacola, came off the end of Nancy Lane, crossed Highway 95A and struck a mailbox and natural gas line about 2:45 p.m. Thursday. His car came to rest on top of the ruptured gas line. The resulting gas leak was quickly contained by personnel from Okaloosa Gas. There was no fire from the collision.
Grace was not injured in the accident. He was charged with careless driving, according to the FHP.
The Molino and Cantonment stations of Escambia Fire Rescue responded to the accident, along with Escambia County EMS and the FHP.
Highway 95A was closed until the gas leak could be contained. Residents in the area were notified to stay indoors and “shelter in place” during the incident.
