Industrial Park Wreck Claims One Life
September 23, 2011
A 26-year old Pensacola woman died in a traffic crash Friday morning in the Ellyson Industrial Park.
The Florida Highway Patrol said April R. Smith was pronounced dead on the scene of the 5:55 a.m. crash on Copter Road east of Ely Road. Troopers said Smith was eastbound on Copter Road in a 1993 Honda Accord when she attempted to pass a 2005 GMC Yukon driven by Letoya S. Williams, 33, of Pensacola. Smith struck a concrete curb at the intersection and rotated into the path of a 2007 International truck driven by Brandon K. Morris, 29, of Cantonment. Smith’s car then made a low-speed imapct with Williams’ vehicle.
Morris received minor injuries that did not require transport to a hospital. Williams and her passenger, 33-year old Billy D. Williams of Pensacola, were not injured.
Charges in the crash are pending a traffic homicide investigation, according to the FHP.
