Driver Cited After Three-Vehicle Highway 95A Crash

December 24, 2015

An elderly driver was cited by the Florida Highway Patrol following a three vehicle crash Wednesday night in Cantonment.

According to the FHP, 73-year old Joann Elliot Reeves of Cantonment was traveling north on Highway 95A at Old Chemstrand Road about 5:30 p.m. when she failed to stop her Toyota Avalon at a stop sign and rear-ended a Chevrolet driven by 24-year old Mercedes Kay Byrd of Pensacola. The Impala then collided with a 2005 Toyota Tacoma drive by 34-year old Christy Lee Davis.

Reeves, Byrd, and a four-year old passenger in Byrd’s vehicle were all transported to Sacred Heart Hospital with minor injuries. Davis and an eight-year old passenger in her vehicle were not injuries.

Reeves was cited for careless driving, expired registration and no proof of insurance, according to a FHP report.

    The 73 year old woman (Jo Ann) that has NO isurance and expired tags never should have had her irresposible self on the road and then slam into the rear end of a stopped car at a stop sign that then T-boned me and my daughter almost flipping my truck.
    Mercedes, hope you and the baby are okay.
    Thanks to everyone that stopped to offer assitance.

    Hope you are OK Joann. For some reason there are a number of drivers who are on 95-a drive through the stop sign. I have seen it a number of times and can only guess they feel that 95-a has the right of way. Maybe a flashing light would help. Stoping on the other road could cause traffic to stop on the RR tracks.
