Jay Woman Critically Injured In Wreck Blamed On Winter Conditions

January 29, 2014

A Jay woman was critically injured in a wreck Tuesday afternoon that was blamed on winter road conditions.

The Florida Highway Patrol said 21-year old Kasey Jean Brown of Jay was traveling east on Highway 4 near Market Road about 4:58 p.m. when her 2000 Ford Focus lost traction and began to fishtail. The vehicle rotated across the center line and into the path of a westbound 2002 Jeep Cherokee. The driver of the Cherokee attempted to avoid an accident, but both vehicles collided just off the north side of the roadway.

Brown was transported to Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola in critical condition.

The driver of the Jeep Cherokee, 52-year old Larry M. Wiebel of Illinois received minor injuries. His passenger, 51-year old Sherry Lynn Hergert, also of Illinois, was seriously injured. Both were transported to Santa Rosa Medical Center.

The accident remains under investigation by the FHP.

    We came by right after this happened. I pray for Kasey’s complete recovery as well as the other couple. They were trapped in their car and at the time and they thought they were okay.

    Thank you all emergency people who got there faster than I would have thought they could. Especially with the weather being so bad. That highway was a huge disaster waiting to happen with all that ice.
