One Killed, Two Seriously Injured In Mobile Highway Crash

June 9, 2013

One person was killed in a late Saturday afternoon traffic crash in Escambia County.

The Florida Highway Patrol said 22-year old Daniel E. Howard of Pensacola was traveling westbound in a 1998 Chevrolet SUV on Mobile Highway near the Alabama state line when he attempted to pass another vehicle in a no-passing zone. Howard lost control of his vehicle and began to rotate. The driver of an oncoming 2008 Volkswagen attempted to take evasive action, but the two vehicle collided. Howard’s vehicle came to rest off the highway in the edge of a wooded area.

Howard was pronounced deceased at the scene. The driver of the Volkswagen, 51-year old Teresa K. Hart of Pensacola, and her passenger, 50-year old Daren Coats of Pensacola, were seriously injured. Both were transported to Sacred Heart Hospital.

The accident remains under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol.

    Daniel has another Angel guiding him on his way.

    So unfortunate. My thoughts and prayers with all families involved. I have a 21yo. I preach all the time about the dangers of the road and driving distracted and so on. They think they are in control whn in fact they are not. They think they are untouchable. My heart aches for this young life lost. I could only imagine what his parents are enduring.I hope a speedy recovery to the ones hurt. May God wrap these families in his arms and comfort them.
