A Jay resident had passed away following a July traffic crash.

Westley Lynn Mote, 26, died Saturday. On July 6, Mote was northbound on Chumuckla Highway near 10 Mile Road about 12:30 a.m. when he drifted off the road onto the east shoulder, over corrected, crossed both lanes of the highway, ran off the west shoulder, and hit a tree, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

Mote was critically injured and was transported to Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola. A passenger in the 1998 Chevrolet S10, 26-year old Natalie Raye Mote, was seriously injured and also transported to Sacred Heart. Neither occupant was wearing a seat belt, the FHP said.

    So sad to hear, my heart goes out to the young wife and child left behind. I knew Westley from high school. Taken way too young! Where was the original story? I never even heard of this accident until now. Was it not on this website?
