3 Injured In Crash At Cantonment Church
October 20, 2011
Three people receive minor injuries in a two vehicle wreck Wednesday night on Highway 297A in Cantonment. The injured were transported by ambulance to local hospitals following the wreck about 8 p.m. in front of Heritage Baptist Church.
The Florida Highway Patrol says 18-year old Joseph Franklin Collins on Cantonment was northbound on Highway 297A when he crossed over the southbound lane while attempting to turn into the church parking lot. Collins’ 2007 Mitsubishi Eclipse was hit near;y head-on by a 1979 Chevrolet Caprice driven by 28-year old Charles Raymond Pugh of Pensacola.
Collins told troopers he did not see the other vehicle before making his turn. He was charged with an improper left turn, according to the FHP.
Collins, Pugh and a passenger in Pugh’s vehicle, 36-year old Herman Jermain Dillard of Pensacola, all received minor injuries.
The Cantonment and Ensley stations of Escambia Fire Rescue and Escambia County EMS also responded to the call.

You’re in my prayers Joey!
What is with all the crashes up here? Seems like there is one everyday.
The kid thought he was moving into a left hand turn lane. And it’s not a good area, safety wise. It’s poorly lit and the speed limit is too high for conditions. I hope the people are all ok.
You have never seen radar run on this road? Then you don’t drive it often I see troopers and county at least once a month. I drove by this accident last night looked like a bunch of teenagers.
A very dangerous and high traffic road in my opinion. I travel this road a few times a week. Always speeders and tailgaters along that area. I’ve never seen a trooper or county car running radar as long as I’ve lived here on that stretch of the road.
Hope these folks are ok.
