Flomaton Wreck Claims Fourth Life
September 6, 2010
The fourth person involved in a wreck last Monday in Flomaton has died.
Edward Bradford, 80, of Pensacola, passed away at Sacred Heart Hospital as a result of injuries he received in the August 30 wreck, according to family friends. His wife, Alice Bradford, 79, was pronounced dead shortly after being flown to Baptist Hospital in Pensacola last Monday.
Bay Minette residents Stephen Carl Thompson, 33, and his son, Nathan, 9, died in the accident about 2:30 p.m. August 30 at the intersection of Highway 113 and Highway 31. Funeral services for the father and son were held Saturday in Bay Minette.
Thompson and his son were traveling north on Highway 31 when they were broadsided at a high rate of speed by a vehicle driven by Alice Bradford.
The impact of the crash pushed both vehicles off the highway into a service bay at Rowland’s Tires. Witnesses said they never heard the screech of tires as either car braked. They said all they heard was what sounded like an explosion.
Pictured above: All four victims in this accident have died. Edward Bradford and his wife Alice were in the silver car to the left and were airlifted to a Pensacola hospital. Stephen Carl Thompson and his nine-year old son Nathan were pronounced dead in the maroon car to the right. NorthEscambia.com photo, click to enlarge.

PUT AWAY THE CELL PHONE AND YES MAINLY TEXTING.
um….did I and everyone else miss the part in the article where it said either driver was texting??? All car accidents are not caused by cell phones you know. God bless these families.
Just keep praying for the families left behind that need comforting now in a way that only God can.
Rest in Peace
Ed and Alice.
