Fiery Crash: Driver Hits Pumps At Highway 29 Gas Station
June 25, 2015
One person was hospitalized after their pickup slammed into gas pumps at the Raceway station on Highway 29 in Ensley Thursday morning.
About 6:50 a.m., the pickup driver, 32-year old Jessie L. Thomas of Pensacola, suffered a “medical event” according to the Florida Highway Patrol. He crossed from the southbound lanes of Highway 29 into the northbound lanes, striking a Mazda Miata drive by Sidney Hargis, 36. Thomas then continued into the parking lot of the gas station off Highway 29 and lost control before hitting and sheering-off one set of pumps and hit another set, sparking a roaring blaze. Thomas was rescued from the truck by bystanders.
Thomas was transported to Baptist Hospital with minor injuries. Hargis was not injured.
Thomas was cited by the FHP for having no insurance.
