Pedestrian Critical After Being Hit By Car

December 11, 2013

A pedestrian is in critical condition after being struck by a car Tuesday night on Davis Highway south of Northcross Lane.

The Florida Highway Patrol said 52-year old Jeffery Kucinski of Pensacola was attempting to cross Davis Highway about 6:55 p.m. when he walked into the path of a 2002 Cadillac driven by 66-year old Christina Smith of Gulf Breeze.

After being hit by the vehicle, Kucinski was thrown forward about 60 feet. He was transported to Sacred Heart Hospital in critical condition.

Smith was not charged.

    I’ve known Jeffrey since the fifth grade but mostly have lost touch since high school. I hope he recovers from this accident and has a better life ahead.

    “I think all the money spent on putting up all those new crosswalk signs a few years back was a complete waste.”

    I’ll bet the people who use them would think different..
    And some people call traffic lights red lights because they only see the negative in them.. :)

    I was the witness to this horrible accident. It was very sad. I pray the man recovers. And impray for the mind of the woman that hit him.

    Not surprising. I see people trying to cross Davis Hwy outside of crosswalks or against the DONT WALK signs all the time.

    I think all the money spent on putting up all those new crosswalk signs a few years back was a complete waste.

    You can put up all the signs you like, but no one wants to use them, or dont use them properly and then this happens.
