Child Killed, Four People Injured In I-10 Wreck
June 8, 2012
A 10-year old Pensacola boy was killed and four other were injured in a single vehicle rollover accident Thursday morning on I-10.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, Ladarius Drayton was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident between the Avalon Boulevard exit in Santa Rosa County and the Scenic Highway exit in Pensacola.
Niela V. Johnson, 28, was traveling on I-10 when she lost control about 11:25 a.m. while changing lanes. Her 1999 GMC 1500 SUV overturned multiple times across the westbound lanes of I-10. The SUV came to rest upright at the wood line next to the interstate.
Niela Johnson was seriously injured, as was front seat passenger Talacius O. Campbell, 27. Passenger Alyili Fields, 11, was seriously injured, while passenger Annasha Drayton was critically injured.
Charges are pending the outcome of the FHP’s investigation.

My prayers go out to the family and I’m sorry for your lost.
Another Baby gone this weekend…..may family and friends all pull together
to get through this horrible ordeal. May everyone injured get well soon.
Let’s all stop being distracted in our driving! Please slow down and
stop speeding, eating, gawking, talking and texting. There is precious
cargo in every car! Someone loves everyone!
>>>A serious question. What is the difference between seriously injured and critically injured. Always hear that in media and just curious what the difference is.
Critical is more serious than serious. A seriously injured patient is likely to remain in the hospital but their life is not likely in any immediate danger. A critically injured patient is more likely to be in ICU, and they would be in great danger of dying without proper medical care.
As for *how* those are reported — in the case of wrecks that FHP works, the report indicates the injures — none, minor, severe, critical or fatal.
Sometimes a patient can be classified as critical on the scene and go home later that day once they are further evaluated at a hospital.
