Adult, Two Young Children Injured In Molino Crash

January 25, 2016

Three people — including two young children — were seriously injured in single vehicle crash Monday morning in Molino.

The accident was reported about 7:45 a.m. on Highway 95A near Josh Lane, just south of Cedartown Road. According to the Florida Highway Patrol, 24-year old Erin Michell Hallford of Cantonment was traveling north on Highway 95A in a 1989 Chevrolet pickup when she ran off the roadway, hit a utility pole and overturned in a wooded area. One of the children and Hallford were trapped in the vehicle following the crash.

Hallford was airlifted by LifeGuard medical helicopter to a Pensacola hospital, while two children, ages three and five, were transported to the hospital by Escambia County EMS.

The FHP cited Hallford with failure to maintain a single lane.

    >> Is LifeGuard the new EMS company, or is LifeFlight still operating in the area as well?

    Lifeguard, a national EMS company, operates locally in Santa Rosa County, including an air ambulance. It was the Lifeguard helicopter from Santa Rosa County that responded to this crash.

    “The FHP cited Hallford with failure to maintain a single lane.”

    Her vehicle was trashed, she’s likely facing thousands of dollars in medical bills, few hundred for towing and her insurance cost will probably increase.

    Was a ticket really necessary in this single vehicle accident FHP? Me thinks not…
