Three Injured In Highway 29 Rollover Crash (With Photo Gallery)
May 22, 2011
Two Cantonment residents were trapped in single vehicle rollover accident shortly after 8:00 Sunday morning on Highway 29 at Woodland Avenue in Cantonment.
The Florida Highway Patrol says Kenneth Bedwell, 51, was northbound on Highway 29 at Woodland Avenue when he traveled partially off the roadway onto the northbound shoulder. He then over-corrected and swerved into the median where his 2005 Buick SUV began to overturn. The vehicle came to rest upside down on Highway 29.
Firefighters were forced to use the Jaws of Life to extricate a Bedwell and his passenger, 52-year old Mary Bedwell of Cantonment. Kenneth Bedwell was airlifted to Sacred Heart Hospital in critical condition. Mary Bedwell was transported by ambulance to Sacred Heart Hospital where she was listed in serious condition.
A toddler properly secured in car seat in the vehicle, three-year old Alphonsa Griffin of Cantonment, received only minor injuries and was transported to Sacred Heart Hospital for evaluation.
Charges are pending in the accident, according to the FHP.
The crash, near the Cantonment firehouse, was witnessed D.W. McMillan Hospital EMS crew from Brewton. The Cantonment, Molino and Ensley stations of Escambia Fire Rescue responded to the crash, along with Escambia County EMS and the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.

Bad driving habits will eventually catch up to everyone.

Thank God everyone is doing good this morning! Still praying for Aunt Janet and Ken to have a quick recovery. Seeing these pictures, there is no doubt God is in control!
God is so good! He has a plan and purpose for all things. Thank you, Lord, for protecting our neighbors and their sweet grandbaby!
These are two of the best people in the world I know. I am blessed to know them and AJ is a truly wonderful grandson who loves his grandparents so much. I know God is watching over them, but please keep them in your prayers! I love you Popa and Moma.
Prayers are with you and your family. Get well soon. Thanks to the fire dept., and all emergency people involved. Hope to see you soon Ken.
Let this be a reminder to everyone of the importance of properly securing children in their car seats! This wreck could have been tragic for the 3 year old if they hadn’t had her in a car seat. It sends chills up my spine when I see a child not secured in a car seat or seat belt. So glad this family and especially the child is okay!
So glad to read Janice & Ty’s comments that they had seen them and they will recover …Ty even saying that they are doing great! It has helped us cousins , Aunts & Uncles waiting on some good news. Love & Prayers to Kenny & his sweetheart of a wife Janet & little grandbaby. It’s so awsome that our God can bring us through such a horrible situation. Thank God they are OK!!!!!
I am so grateful that my cousin and his wife are going to be okay. When you see these pictures, they scare you to death. You never know what is going to happen from one minute to the other. We must love one another like it is our last day to see one another. Thank you God!! I love you Ken!! Aunt Shirl said to tell you that she loves you too very much!!

So thankful we were running five minutes late this morning. We pulled up right behind the accident and are still waiting for the road to be cleared. God is so good! We are praying for those who were involved.
