One Injured When Car Hits ECAT Bus In Cantonment

October 1, 2014

One person was injured in a collision involving an Escambia County Area Transit bus and a car Tuesday night in Cantonment.

The driver of a car apparently rear-ended the bus at the railroad tracks on Highway 29 just south of Muscogee Road just before 8 p.m. The driver of the bus was transported to Sacred Heart Hospital by Escambia County EMS with injuries that were not considered serious.

There were reportedly no passengers on the bus; it was returning to Pensacola after making a final evening stop in Century.

The Cantonment Station of Escambia Fire Rescue and the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office also responded to the crash.  The accident is under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol. Further details, including the names of those involved, has not yet been released.

    Hope the driver is ok. Not surprised at the accident though. Apparently all buses are invisible, not just school buses. Lol ;-)

    Wow!!! That looks like one of those new shiny gas tax buses that ECAT just bought. I hope everyone is ok and there isn’t major damage to it. I don’t want a penny increase at the pump for repairs on future accident.
