Four Injured In Highway 29 Crash
November 1, 2013
Four people were injured in a two vehicle accident Thursday night on Highway 29 north of Cantonment.
The accident happened about 9:15 p.m. in the northbound lanes of Highway 29 near Hazzard Lane, just south of Quintette Road. The Florida Highway Patrol said a 1997 Ford Ranger pickup driven by 68-year old Easter Mae East of Cantonment had slowed to turn onto Hazzard Lane. The driver of a 2006 Ford Windstar, 61-year old James Otis Conway, hit the pickup when he failed to notice it slowing down.
Conway was not injured. East received minor injuries and was transported West Florida Hospital. Passengers in the Ford Ranger — 53-year old Ruth Hammon Hazzard, 48-year old Aldme Toler and 16-year old LeeMicheal East — were transported to West Florida Hospital by ambulance with minor injuries. Two other pickup passengers — 5-year old Jaquez Carter and 6-year old Robert Dukes III — were not injured.
Conway was cited for careless driving, and East was cited for a seat belt violation for unrestrained passengers under 18.

She did use her turn signal he was speeding!and hit her and for the kids in there it was cold and she didn’t want leave them down the road
More than likely, the vehicle that was turning failed to use their blinker. It seems like NOBODY uses their turn signals any more.
Ok… how in THE world did 6 people fit in that tiny Ranger? Seriously. That, is what I call reckless.
In addition, that area is poorly lit. As a matter of fact, when I moved here eighteen years ago I was shocked at how dark the roads are around here, and it hasn’t changed much.
note the top of the van pizza dev.
Glad nobody was seriously injured. How many people were in that Ford Ranger? The driver, two adults and three children equal six people in a Ford Ranger, seems kinda crowded for a small pickup.
I to have to turn off of 29 N to get into my neighborhood – and I turn on my blinker well in advance BUT – I also keep watching that truck or car to see if they are either slowing down or getting into the other lane – if they are not – I keep on going…..
it is really a shame people don’t pay attention….
