Driver Dies Following Jan. 23 Wreck Outside Jay

February 2, 2013

An Alabama man died Friday as a result of injuries he received in a three vehicle wreck southeast of Jay on January 23.

David M. Kicker, age 63 of Repton, AL, was pronounced deceased at 3:07 p.m. Friday at Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola.

The Florida Highway Patrol said two vehicles were stopped for a turning vehicle on Highway 87 near Country Mill Road at 5:23 p.m. on January 23. As Kicker approached from behind, he struck one stopped vehicle, pushing it into the other vehicle. Kicker’s 2010 Ford Explorer continued into the ditch while rotating. Then with just the left front tire on the surface of the roadway, his SUV barrel-rolled one complete rotation in the ditch before coming to rest on all four tires, the FHP reported.

Kicker was airlifted to Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola where he had remained until the time of his death.

The driver of the vehicle first struck by Kicker’s SUV, 20-year old Orion Wayne Motsco of Jay, was not injured, but his 2006 Honda Accord was totaled.  The driver of the third vehicle, 47-year old John P. Miller of Robertsdale, AL, was also not injured.

The accident remains under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol.

    David is a friend of mine, I say is because I have all confidence that by His on testimony I will see him again one day. I offer my condolences to his family and Special Friend who attended services at the church in which I am Pastor, I will miss him. He once repaired the sound system in our church and refused to accept compensation for doing so saying his reward awaited him in the future, well he is enjoying those rewards now.
