Updated: Pensacola Man Critically Injured In Highway 29 Rollover Crash

September 21, 2014

[Updated] A Pensacola man was critically injured in a single vehicle rollover accident late Saturday night in Cantonment.

The Florida Highway Patrol said 29-year old Brian L. Whitehead was southbound on Highway 29 near Cedar Tree Lane when he lost control.  The left rear tire of his 1995 Chevrolet Silverado struck a metal grate, causing the vehicle to spin and slide sideways into a concrete culvert. The vehicle slid up the culvert and became airborne and overturned several times, ejecting Whitehead. The vehicle came to rest on the driver’s side partially inside a northbound lanes.

Whitehead  was airlifted by LifeFlight to Baptist Hospital as a “trauma alert”. There were no other occupants in the vehicle.

The Cantonment, Molino and Ensley stations of Escambia Fire Rescue, Escambia EMS and the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to the 11:19 p.m. accident.

Charges in the crash are pending, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
