Escambia Pedestrian Dies After Traffic Crash

March 4, 2011

A 54-year old Escambia County man died Friday, just hours after being hit by two vehicles on Mobile Highway Thursday night.

The Florida Highway Patrol said James Suber, 54, of Pensacola died Friday morning from injuries he received about 10:53 Thursday night on Mobile Highway at Wabash Avenue. Troopers said was walking east on Mobile Highway in the path of both vehicles. He was first hit by a 1995 Cadillac driven by Latasha Rogers, 38, of Pensacola. Suber was then thrown into the path of the second vehicle, a 1996 Buick driven by Jewell Jernigan, 33, of Pensacola. Luber was trapped under the second vehicle.

Rogers, Jernigan, and Jernigan’s passenger — 29-year old Haley Jernigan — were not injured in the crash.

Any charges are pending the outcome of an investigation, according to FHP.
