Walnut Hill Man Injured In Wreck Near Vernon

June 10, 2010

A Walnut Hill man received minor injuries in a Wednesday wreck in Washington County that critically injured a Chipley man.

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, David P. Fuller, 41, of Chipley, failed to stop his 2000 Toyota pickup at a “clearly marked” stop sign at the intersection of County Road 279 and State Road 77 near Vernon about 10:50 Wednesday morning.

Fuller steered right and entered the northbound turn lane on State Road 77, colliding with the left side of a 1995 Kenworth dump truck driven by Andrew F. Beck, 27, of Walnut Hill. Beck’s dump truck overturned onto the passenger side, spilling a load of dirt onto the highway. Fuller’s vehicle rotated several times, partially ejecting Fuller.

Fuller was transported in critical condition to Bay Medical Center in Panama City. Beck was transported to Northwest Florida Community Hospital in Chipley with minor injuries.

Charges are pending against Fuller, according to the FHP.
