The mustang was under speed limit at the time of the crash so speed was not apart of it. Bryn if you knew nothing about the wreck there should be no comment from you. I didn’t try to pass any cars nor was I going too fast. The roads were wet and my mustang hydroplaned causing me to lose control of the car. Ronni was my best friend and Payton was my god daughter I would never do anything stupid to put there lives at any kind of danger. Accidents happen everyday. Some are unavoidable.
This is so sadi loved her and her family even tho it all ended on bad terms I miss. U Harley I miss. The crazy nights we all had …damn how short life can be and how fast it can be gone
Payton did have a seizure the night before, but they were expecting that to happen since she has sheering on her brain. They are slowly reducing her ventilator and her pain medicines. This will be the most critical for her, She did finally open her eyes! She is a strong babygirl. Please continue to pray! There are multiple places you can donate money to. #Paytonstrong
Is there any update on the baby, her condition or Alexis?
Kristin you need to read the post above yours. Ms. Penton was driving the passenger Ronnie (female) is the one that died and the 2 yr was hers not Ms. Pentons.
God be with all involved, I pray for the truck driver for emotional healing. I know him and he has taken the accident really hard.
This is tragic for everyone involved. I pray for all involved and emotional healing for the truck driver.
My deepest prayers and thoughts go out to all the families involved, but let’s not forget about the Mack truck driver Mark. Hope he is doing well and sending God’s strength and guidance for him to overcome this tragic scene and accident.
Unless the road forces people to cross over in front of oncoming traffic, the road is blameless here. Just keep in mind the fact that driving is serious business every second of the drive — every drive — and mourn the losses and the pain all endure.

truckdrivers sans nightmares
My thoughts and prayers to all the families involved. For those of you blaming 87 – it’s not the road, its the drivers. I travel this road every day to and from work and I witness on a daily basis people speeding and trying to get around other vehicles just so they can be one car ahead of them. People need to learn to slow down. You won’t get to where are going if you are deceased!
Just so that everyone is clear…Ronnie, the young lady that passed, is FEMALE! She is the mother of 2 year old Peyton and is best friends with the driver, Lexi.
I want to send my prayers to Mrs. Penton and her 2yr old child. I hope that they are able to pull through all of their injuries. Also my heart felt sympathies to all the loved ones of all of them, especially of the deceased young man. I know it is going to b hard to think u will ever survive this. But you will. Time doesn’t heal or erase the wounds, but it will make the scars more bearable. I know how u all are feeling. 3 years ago my grandmother died then the next evening my 15 yr old little sister and my 18 yr old cousin died in a car accident on their way to shop for funeral clothes. We had a triple funeral 5 days later. I know how hopeless and lost u r all feeling now, but have faith and remember that u r not alone. Take care of that baby, he/she is going to need all the caring and love they can get to make it thru right now.
I’m heartbroken for Payton Lee Stone and pray for him often since I heard. Everyone please pray for Payton’s physical and emotional recovery. I pray his life will be full and happy as his mother watches over him from Heaven. I pray God Blesses Ronnie’s Mom, and her whole family with love, strength and understanding.
My prayers go out to all the families involed in this terrible tragedy . I feel the same way about hwy 87 south . I hate it , there aint no lights at all on it which makes it in my appoion the most dangerous and scariest road in santa rosa county . Something needs to be done with that road.
Prayers for healing, emotionally and physically to all involved.
This is a terrible tragedy, and it weighs heavy on me when any young person is killed. I pray for the families involved. Also for the survivors that they will heal from this awful experience.
my prayers go out to both the families and the driver of the truck..thats a horrible thing
Good Lord, from the photo of the car it is God’s Miracle that all were not killed.
Horrible for all involved.
Prayers for all.
OMG!!! This makes me so sad. Sad cause a young woman dies, another is in serious condition, and a baby is hurt. I hate highway 87, and avoid as much as possible. Prayers for the families, and lots of prayers for those that are still alive and fighting for their life.
Thoughts and prayers for the family.
