Weather Being Blamed For Jay Man’s Semi Truck Wreck
April 7, 2014
A Jay man escaped injury in a wreck this morning in Okaloosa County that is being blamed on the weather.
The Florida Highway Patrol said 50-year old Michael Patterson of Jay was driving a Freightliner semi pulling a trailer during heavy rain on Highway 4 near Vernon Taylor Road. He said another vehicle pulled in front of him and another semi, causing him to veer off the roadway to avoid a collision.
Patterson traveled onto the shoulder, striking a utility pole and rupturing a water main. He was not injured.
Patterson was not charged with any traffic offense, according to the FHP.
