Scenic Hwy Closed By Crash; Hundreds Lose Power

A portion of Scenic Highway was closed for hours Wednesday morning after a utility pole was snapped in an early morning wreck.
About 3:16 a.m., 21-year old Blake Busbee was eastbound on Scenic Highway in the area of Pelican Lane when he fell asleep and struck the pole, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. Busbee was transported to Sacred Heart Hospital in serious condition.
He was cited with careless driving by the FHP.
Gulf Power says 811 customers were left without power by the crash. Gulf crews worked throughout the morning to replace the pole.
