ATV Accident Victim Passes Away; Traffic Homicide Investigation Opened
August 23, 2013
One of the victims in an ATV accident early Saturday morning near McDavid has passed away as the result of his injuries.
Daniel Scott Nelson, age 30 of Century, passed way just before 6 p.m. Wednesday at Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola. The ATV he was driving was northbound on Cox Road near Bratt Road about 1:20 a.m. Saturday when he lost control. The 2012 Polaris overturned several times, ejecting Nelson and his passenger, 28-year old Meggan Layne Percey of Cantonment. Nelson was transported by Escambia County EMS to Sacred Heart Hospital as a “trauma alert”.
Percey was transported by Atmore Ambulance to Atmore Community Hospital Saturday morning in serious condition. She was released from the hospital on Saturday.
The Florida Highway Patrol said Thursday afternoon that a traffic homicide investigation is being conducted. Anyone with information on the crash should contact Corporal M. Collins of the FHP at (850) 471-6924.

My prayer for this family is that our Father will continue to be with them durning this difficut time. He has seen them through the last three years. The loss of a father (Beckies), the loss of a son, (Travis), a husband (Scott), and now Daniel.
Beckie, Anna, Jenna, and Daniels entire family….. I pray for mercy for your family.
Know that David, the girls and I are here and we love and miss you ALL.
Becky and Family,
My heart goes out to all of you. May God wrap you in his comforting arms and give you peace during this difficult time you are going through. Just remember that I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless You.
My thoughts and prayers are with this family.
This family has been through alot my condolences to yall.
@ mom and @ dont understand anytime there is a vehicle accident regardless of the type of vehicle on a roadway or where fhp is called to and the end result ends up being a death fhp automatically investigates further. Doesmt mean necessairily anyone will get in more or less trouble they open a traffic homiside investigation regardless. Hope that helped.
@Nelson family, I pass on my sincerest condolences.
@Kathleen Norwood I pass to you my condolences as well. It is always difficult to lose a loved one.
U will be missed dearly
why are they doing an investigation?
So sorry for your loss. Why is there a traffic homicide investigation going on though? I thought this was just a ATV accident.
My thoughts and prayers are with this family during this time. They have dealt with so much pain and loss during the past two years than anyone else that I know. I can’t even imagine what this feels like…I can only pray. They too will know peace. RIP Daniel Nelson.
God be with this family!
They have been through so much in the last few years.
My prayers are with you!
May God be with the family, I know exactly what you are going through. My 34 yr old son was shot and killed 16 months ago. God Bless you all, and may God with you all.
My sympathies and prayers for your family. I pray that God will give you the strength that is needed during this time.
