Alabama Man Seriously Injured In Nine Mile Road Accident

February 26, 2013

An Alabama man was seriously injured in a two vehicle wreck Monday night on Nine Mile Road at I-10.

The Florida Highway Patrol said 50-year old Mark Alan Mothershed of Grand Bay, AL, exited westbound I-10 in a 2004 Buick and tried to cross all lanes of Nine Mile Road to re-enter the interstate. In the process, Mothershed pulled into the path of a 2004 Lincoln Navigator driven by 37-year old Robert Guice Jones of Pensacola.  The Buick came to rest against a pole.

Mothershed and Jones receive minor injuries in the crash. A passenger in Mothershed’s vehicle, 20-year old Daniel Dewayne Draughon of Irvington, AL, was seriously injured in the wreck. All three were transported by ambulance to Sacred Heart Hospital.

Mothershed was charged with failing to yield right of way; Jones was charged with driving with a suspended license, according to FHP.

    Not much of a deformation zone on that SUV.

    The article clearly states that he was west-bound, therefore there is a traffic light. For the geographically challenged, he would be heading towards Mobile, not Pensacola.

    Maybe a traffic light isn’t magic after all…….

    The gentlemen must have been headed towards penscola not mobile. And there is not a light on that side of the interstate. So the light would have not helped these people at all. Someone’s judgement was not very good yesterday. Hope they heal fast.

    I thought it was a newly installed traffic light at this intersection. I guess one of them ran it to cause this horrible looking wreck. Thank God no one was killed.

    I hope all recover. With the looks of the Buick, I’m surprised (and thankful) no one was killed.

    It pays to look both ways.
