Two Injured In Cantonment Crash (With Photo Gallery)
September 28, 2011
One person was trapped in a two vehicle accident Tuesday afternoon in front of the Cantonment fire station, disrupting rush hour traffic for about an hour.
Firefighters were forced to use the Jaws of Life to extricate one person from their vehicle in the accident on Highway 29 near Woodland Street about 5:30 p.m.. That person and one other were transported to a Pensacola hospital by ambulance. Their conditions were not known.
The Cantonment, Molino,, Ensley and Beulah stations of Escambia Fire Rescue responded to the crash along with Escambia County EMS and the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.
Further details have not been released by the Florida Highway Patrol.

The guy really needs prayers sent his way!!
If you are going to have and accident, I guess a rocks throw from the fire station, is the place to do it. Watch over us Lord.
Yah I reread it and saw it said in front of the fire station. It was late when I posted that. lol
REGARDING:
“Most people dont realize they are supposed to criss cross each other to pull into the opposite enterances.”
Please explain what you mean when you say criss cross.
If you mean first to the left then to the right then to the left then to the right, I can see where some confusion might be coming in. If you mean over then under then over then under, I would enjoy watching that driving.
If you mean pass the other vehicle in the intersection and then begin to turn, I can see where the confusion is coming in.
David for not driving into others
The wreck was not at the light, it was at the intersection north of it.
I cant believe a wreck happened there. I mean theres a red light there how can this happen? Yes there was sarcasm in that. Red lights do NOT solve the problems at all intersections. But on a serious note though I hope everyone involved is ok and no serious damage.
I cross this intersection EVERYDAY! Three to four times sometimes. Its not Speed, drunk driving or any of the other reasons people blame. This right here is a simple case of not knowing the rules. Most people dont realize they are supposed to criss cross each other to pull into the opposite enterances. They need to make a sign that explains the simple rule we were taught to get a permit. Some people do it some dont and you end up playing chicken in the median EVERYTIME! Horrible enterance choice for that store from the south bound lanes. I have started sucking up the speed bumps and going out muscogee.
