Two Cantonment residents were involved in a crash with a loaded school bus Friday afternoon in Pensacola.

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, Marvin Beck, 77, was northbound on Pine Forest Road near West Detroit Boulevard about 3 p.m. when he changed lanes into the path of a northbound school bus driven by James Burleson, 32, of Pensacola.

The school bus driver and 28 students on the bus were uninjured. A passenger in Beck’s vehicle, Laura Beck, 75, of Cantonment, was also uninjured.

Beck was charged with improper/unsafe change of lane in the accident that caused little damage to the bus or Beck’s Nissan.

    REGARDING:
    “Name sounds familiar ?
    County commisioner years ago ?”

    typing in Marvin Beck commissioner escambia brought up among other things:

    “Marvin Beck was … County Commissioner for seven years from 1976-83.”

    I didn’t click on it but it sounds right.
