Driver Cited After Log Truck Overturns On Muscogee Road
January 11, 2013
A log truck driver was cited by the Florida Highway Patrol after his vehicle overturned at International Paper in Cantonment Thursday night.
The FHP said 23-year old Travis Davis of Citronelle, Ala., was eastbound on Muscogee Road when he failed to maintain control of his tractor-trailer and ran into a ditch. The log truck overturned, sending logs into the ditch and the administrative parking area of International Paper.
Davis was transported by ambulance to Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola with minor injuries following the 6 p.m. crash. He was cited by the FHP for careless driving, no seat belt and an expired tag.

You people should think about this. The logs shift while driving, it is about 80,000 lbs and it wasraining. While you are blaming him for being a “bad” driver look over at the car next to you and watch them text, talk on cell phone, paint their nails or try and do all at once. I have seen this happen. Yes I have seen the loggers and chip drivers speed, but I have seen the police speed also.
How many times does this subject have to be covered before any drfinitive action is taken on the pulpwood/chipwood trucks. They constantly exceed the speed limit on Muscogee, hwy 99, and hwy 97 , time is money with these drivers…enough is enough of this careless driving, and no disregard for other people on the road…
Rain was a factor I am sure. But those log truck drivers barrel down my rural road like they own it. I would like to see them have a refresher course in safety.
SUPRISED? ALL OF US WHO USE MUSCOGEE AREN’T. THEY FLY AROUND THE CORNER AT THE BINDU STATION, HOW MANY HAVE OVERTURNED THERE? MY AUNT HAS HAD AT LEAST 2 LOADS IN HER YARD IN THE LAST FEW YEARS. IT’S NO SECRET, JUST A SPOT THAT DOT OR FHP NEED TO STEP UP AND PATROL. SOMEONE WILL GET HURT OR KILLED THERE, ITS JUST A MATTER OF TIME. I PRAY IT’S NOT MY DAUGHTER AND GRANDSON. OR YOURS!
He was behind me and it was raining hard I don’t think speed was a factor y’all shouldn’t pass judgment on people
Hopeffuly Mr. Davis has a skill he’s better suited for cause luckily no one was injured this time. A CDL endorsment can be taken away for careless driving.
Im sure speed was a factor too. Got to get those logs delivered whatever it takes.
I guess like everyone else there are responsible drivers and others who are not. Glad no one was seriously injured.
