Two Teens Killed In Munson Road Crash; Ambulance Totaled While Responding
March 2, 2011
Two Holt residents were killed in a single vehicle Munson Highway wreck Tuesday night, and an ambulance responded to the crash was totaled.
The Florida Highway Patrol says Nadja M. Chandler, 38, was southbound on Munson Highway near East Gate Road in Santa Rosa County when she lost control of her 2002 Ford Ranger, ran off the road, struck and culvert and rolled over. The two passengers in the vehicle, 18-year old Zoe M. Chandler and 15-year old Brandi Bartholomew, were pronounced dead at the scene of the 7:55 p.m. crash. Nadja Chandler was transported by LifeFlight to Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola.
No one in the vehicle was wearing a seat belt, according to the FHP. Charges are pending the results of the investigation.
An ambulance responding to the scene was totaled when the driver lost control in a curve. The Florida Highway Patrol says Clayton Miller, 34, of Milton, lost control on Munson Highway near Womack Road. The 2007 ambulance traveled over two raised driveways before striking a tree. Miller and his passenger, 40-year old Greggory Lawler, received minor injuries and were transported to Pensacola hospitals.

Oh My God Brandi.
Looking up at the stars, I know you’re there.
Probaby saying don’t cry because no matter where
We are, we are connected at heart, and always together in spirit.
It is hard to except the fact that you are gone, but you will never be forgotten.
… I love you and miss you so much!!!!!!!
If I had one thing to say to you it would be this;
I can’t think about the fact that you are gone because it seems so unreal, to me it seems nearly impossible that you could be here one day and the next you are just a memory. I LOVE AND FREAKING MISS YOU SO MUCH!!!! I AM LOSING MY MIND!!!!! ♥ ALWAYS,
Cheyenne Jackson. ♥

Brandi, we were best friends as kids. I just can’t beleive this! Milton High and Skateland will NEVER be the same!! I miss you so much! I feel as if there is a part of my heart missing. When I found out the next morning, I could control my emotions. Save me a room up there, babygirl? Rest in Paradise Brandi Nicole Bartholomew!! ♥
brandi girl you were like my little sister we didnt talk much but we had a past you at every session when me and jon jon worked at skateland girl ima miss ya love ya
I am sorry for the loss of those young ladies. Words cannot express loss of children.
The ambulance crew is also in our prayers, but there is more than meets the eye. I hear that the driver was at fault and not a blown tire, I pray he admits his problem so he doesn’t injure maybe someone else or a patient and pray both crew members heal quickly.
Brandi, i remember when we grew up together and your mom was my babysitter, We always had a good time, i miss you girll/: & Zoe, was always nice and a great friend to everyone. I miss ya’ll!! R.I.P. <3 We love yall
Harley & Kayla!
i was && still am Zoes friend && im due to have a baby on april 4th…people keep telln me to be strong for my baby but its so hard when u lose such an amazing person…God please look over all of us we NEED u…i love u Zoe
I didn’t know you all that great, but we have hung out a few times at the Milton games, your a real sweetheart. & I’m sorry you had to pass at such a young age, & I’m also sorry you passed the way you did. it breaks my heart to read all the things on facebook, yours & Isaiahs walls. it’s super sad, I can’t imagine how your family & him feel. I would say that it’s okay, to make things better. but things can’t be better, no words can make it better. or make the pain stop. I’m sorry for your family, & many others who loved you dearly. you will surely be missed, no doubt. fly high babygirl.
I will pray for you & all your loved ones.
I can’t believe she’s gone… I held so much affection for Zoe and when I was informed that she had passed… I didn’t know what to feel… I just hope she’s in a better place now.. Where she deserves to be.. I’ll miss you, Zoe..
just informing.. the tire of the ambulance blew.. causeing him to loose controll.. just sayin
Brandi, there is not a day that goes by that i will not think of you. you were like my little sister, i am goin to miss you so much in 1st period, no one can fill the hole in my heart that i have right now….i will love and miss you always and keep you and your family in my prayers…..R.I.P. BRANDI NIICOLE BARTHOLOMEW p.s. (save me a spot in hevan & wait for me to join you, i love you so much)

Zoe was a great friend to everyone! Always making jokes, putting smiles on everyone’s faces, she was just a great girl all around! Shes gone from this world, but not from our hearts! Let god work his magic!
XOXO,
Kayla Ivey
I’ll miss you Zoe, when I herad that you were in the crash, I asked Charlisa if it was you, when she told me that you had passed, I almost cried, but I didn’t want sympathy for your pain, so I held it in untill I was home. You were sutch a great person, and I hope that you enjoy your next life. Your babie is fine with the husband, so please don’t worry, rest in peace. – Kaitlyn
my heart and prayers go the the familes for their loss. brandi’s mother has babysat my children and still watches over my little cousin, they are wonderful people. this family needs all the prayers. just knowing that the family just had a loss eariler this week hurts my feelings..now they are suffering for another loss.
My heart is broken for the family and friends. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
My children, grandchildren and I always “buckle up”, but I have known of instances where if the person in the car had had a seat belt on they would have died. I know there is more protection if you do wear one. But I agree with you, Hayley. When tragedies happen it sometimes is not the right time to “remind”, it is the time to offer words of compassion.
I don’t know anyone involved, but it is still so heartbreaking to hear of young people dying so early in life and the pain & suffering of the ones left behind.
My prayers & condolences to all of the family.
Nadja is a “she.”
And to the person asking when will people learn, these two people won’t. They are dead. And they are my cousins. We just lost our great grandma the day before, so our family could seriously use all of your prayers.
I am praying for the families of everyone that were in that car. I knew Zoe and she was a great friend to many people! You will be terribly missed. Please help those that are grieving for you. Your with God now, he’ll be taking great care of all of you.
Brandi, I miss you so much. We werent the best of friends but we had some good times. Milton high is really shaken up. R.I.P. Brandi!
Brandi, no words can describe the loss of a friend like you. My eyes have run dry of tears, my heart aching for no longer will you my friend pass me in the hallway but I know in spirit, you are there. R.I.P. Always in my prayers

i am beside myself,i agree with “horrific” tho sorry for the losses
SEATBELTS, SEATBELTS, SEATBELTS. Whenever anyone leaves this house the last thing I say to them is “Bye, I love you, seatbelts, speedlimit and watch for deer”. When in the car, I have to say my children are buckled before I can get mine buckled. It’s a great habit to have. Prayers to all these families. This is such a tragedy.
