One Seriously Injured In Wreck That Caused Power Outage

January 14, 2012

A traffic crash late Friday night seriously injured one person and plunged area homes into darkness.

The accident happened about 11:15 p.m. at Frank Reeder Road and Tower Ridge Road in Beulah. The Florida Highway Patrol said 24-year old Gregory Scott Lloyd of Pensacola was traveling east on Frank Reeder Road at a high rate of speed when hisĀ  1998 Pontiac Firebird left the roadway and struck a mailbox and then a utilty pole, splitting it in half.

Lloyd was transported to West Florida Hospital in serious condition. Charges against him are pending, according to FHP.

The power was out for several hours as Gulf Power worked to replace the pole.
