Pedestrian Dies In Sunday Night Highway 29 Crash
May 23, 2011
A pedestrian was killed in an Escambia County traffic crash Sunday night.
The Florida Highway Patrol said 61-year old Heriberto Ponce of Miami was attempting to cross Highway 29 at Milstead Street when he stepped into the path of a pickup driven by Roy Phillips, 69, of Pensacola. Ponce died as a result of his injuries.
No charges were filed against Phillips.
Editor’s note: This accident happened at Highway 29 and Milstead Street just south of I-10, not at Highway 29 and Milstead Road near the McDavid Volunteer Fire Department.

That man was a very close friend of my family we loved him very much the sad part is that he had just lost his son who was a professional attorney in his country. nothing can console the pain of his daughter and grand kids. its a terrible loss for us.
I saw this right after it happened i was in the passenger seat of my car and saw the accident and couldn’t believe what happened! Some people say it will never happen to them, but most of the time it’s always them that get injured in an accident! May God have his ars open for this poor man and for his family.
I can’t tell you how many people we saw crossing Highway 29 Sunday night or riding bicycles against traffic, close to the road. Of course, they all had dark clothes and no lights…very hard to see. Kind of nerve racking seeing them at the last minute!
I don’t know the details of this case (I saw the emergency lights passing) and I am sorry for the accident for all families involved.
