One Killed In Escambia Wreck

September 9, 2011

One person was killed in single vehicle wreck early Friday morning in the Ensley area of Escambia County.

Matthew D. Hood, 19, of Pensacola, died from injuries he received at 2:42 a.m. at Pitman Avenue and Tower Drive, just off Highway 29. The Florida Highway Patrol says Hood failed to navigate a curve on Pitman Avenue and ran off the road and overturned twice and struck a guardrail. Hood, who was ejected in the 2:42 a.m. crash, passed away at 7:40 a.m. at Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola.

    Stay ALIVE don’t drink and drive and drive at a safe speed. Every time I aproach a Curve ( any Curve ) I think of Matt and slow down, so should you!

    Matt will alway’s be in the hearts of those who love him and those he left a mark upon. I hope you will think of Matt everytime you get behind the wheel or aproach a curve.

    From Uncle Rick.
