April 25, 2012

A 19-year old was killed in a single vehicle traffic accident early Wednesday morning southeast of Jay.

Jasmine Celest Wuesthoff of Pace was pronounced dead at the scene of the 2:04 a.m. crash near the intersection of Sandy Landing Road and Mineral Springs Road, about a mile from the Sandy Landing Boat Ramp on the Escambia River.

She was a passenger in a 1997 Chevrolet Blazer driven by 23-year old Calan Floyd Lewis of Pace. According to the Florida Highway Patrol, Lewis was eastbound on Sandy Landing Road, when he lost control. The Blazer began to spin and ran off onto the north shoulder of the roadway where it hit several trees and shrubs. The vehicle then came to rest upside down on top of the trees and shrubs.

Neither the driver or passenger were wearing a seat belt. Charges are pending a traffic homicide investigation, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

Lewis was transported to West Florida Hospital in serious condition, according to the FHP.

    Jasmine was a classmate of mine when she attended Whitefield Elementary School. We had plenty of heart to hearts, and memories that can never be erased. I still have a note she wrote me, and her email address she gave me. I wish she had never moved. It’s sad to see her go so young, I’m still in shock about this tragic news. Prayers are being sent from Whitefield, Oklahoma!

    May the good Lord be with both families at this time of heartbreak. Another YOUNG angel has joined God’s team. Its a shame that we have lost so many ” children ” due to car accidents the past few months. People should realize that when they are behind the wheel ANYTHING can happen and you have to be prepared for any circumstance. Once again RIP.
