Semi Truck, Bus Collide On Highway 29 In McDavid
October 27, 2015
One person was injured in a crash involving a semi-truck and an Escambia County Community Transportation bus this morning in McDavid.
The crash happened about 5:45 a.m. on Highway 29 north of Champion Drive. According to the Florida Highway Patrol, 27-year old Ryan Joiner of Brewton was stopped in the median of Highway 29 in a 2015 Peterbuilt log truck when he initiated a turn into the direct path of a 2015 model Escambia County Community Transportation bus driven by 22-year old Nakeem Williams of Pensacola.
Williams was transported to Sacred Heart Hospital with minor injuries. Joiner was not injured. There were no passengers on the bus a the time of the crash.
Joiner was cited with careless driving, according to the FHP.
The McDavid Station of Escambia Fire Rescue and the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office also responded to the crash, which shut down northbound Highway 29 for nearly an hour.

It says the TRUCK initiated the turn right infront of the bus people!!!!
If that bus had been a car instead, someone might be dead right now. I hope this person will learn a lesson from this, and pay more attention, because they are lucky that they didn’t kill someone.
I am sure that is a diesel tank on the truck. It will burn but not explode.
I’m glad no one was hurt seriously but I just wonder how much insurance costs for a 22 year old to be driving a bus?
Thank goodness that’s not a gas tank on the side of that truck.
From the looks at the gas tank of the semi, this could have been a lot worse then what it was. If that tank had split and exploded, this could have been a much worse situation. Just glad no one was hurt seriously, and glad no deaths. Prayers for both drivers.
