18-Wheeler Versus Pickup Crash On Highway 29

There were no injuries in a Tuesday night crash between a semi-truck and a pickup on Highway 29 just north of Barrineau Park Road.

The Florida Highway Patrol says Leslie D. Arnette, 56, of Cantonment was northbound in the inside lane of Highway 29 about 7 p.m. when he attempted to turn his Ford F350 pickup and a trailer across the outside lane of traffic and into a driveway. When Arnette turned across the outside lane, his truck was struck on the passenger side by an unloaded 18-wheel log truck driven by Mark T. Lukker, 52, of Century.

Neither driver was injured.

The accident slowed northbound traffic for a couple of hours.

The Molino Station of Escambia Fire Rescue responded to the call. The accident is still under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol.
