One Injured In Highway 4 Crash; Driver Charged

November 4, 2010

One person was injured in a two vehicle crash this afternoon east of Northview High School.

The accident happened about 12:45 p.m. on West Highway 4 near Vaughn Road when Scott Mahoney, 26, of Pace, attempted to turn his 2010 Ford exterminator company truck  into a driveway. He turned into the path of 2004 Toyota Camry driven by Selena Hutton, 34, of Walnut Hill. The Toyota came to rest in the westbound lane of Highway 4, while the pickup truck came to rest in a ditch.

Hutton  was transported by ambulance to Jay Hospital with minor injuries. Mahoney refused transport to the hospital at the scene. There were no passengers in either vehicle.

The Florida Highway Patrol cited Mahoney for violation of right of way.

The Walnut Hill Station of Escambia Fire Rescue and Atmore Ambulance also responded to the crash.

    Glad all are ok in this accident. From the looks of the car I would say Ms. Hutton was pretty shaken up. The truck driver should have been paying attention to the road and this would never have happened.

    settle down & lighten up dick and dawn….in light of the fact that NEITHER of the drivers suffered serious injuries, or…”refused transport to the hospital’…it just doesnt seem to warrant a huge degree of “compassion”…….certainly, there is a time for serious concern /prayers and a time for light levity….i thnk that most folks can appropriately discern between the two.

    i agree with you 100% dick tracy!! people could show a little more compassion! what if that were you or 1 of your loved ones in the crash! i’m just glad no one was seriously hurt in the crash! however…people should pay a lil more attention to the right of way though!
