Cantonment Teens Injured In Interstate Crash
January 1, 2016
Two Cantonment teens were injured in a single vehicle interstate crash Wednesday in Escambia County.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, 16-year old Brian Cantrell of Cantonment was driving a 2006 Chevrolet Silverado on the I-110 entrance ramp to westbound I-10 about 1:40 p.m. when he lost control in a curve. The Silverado struck a guardrail as Cantrell swerved to the right, cross the travel lane and ran onto the shoulder. The vehicle then struck another guardrail and overturned, ejecting Cantrell, and the vehicle came to rest upside down.
Cantrell was transported to Sacred Heart Hospital in serious condition. A passenger in his Silverado, 15-year old Braxton Harding of Cantonment, received minor injuries and was transported to Sacred Heart.
Any charges in the crash are pending, according to the FHP.

that on ramp has a curvature that changes three times,increasingly tighter.
that is the real problem,besides the speed of course
the rain did not help either
it really is a design issue/problem from the beginning,that underlays a many a accident on that on ramp
I hope the young men will be ok and fully recover. That curve has three different warning devices in place to slow drivers down and still drivers underestimate it. Unfortunately this was a young driver that probably hadn’t driven through there too many times and combined with wet roads, another accident occurred. This curve was sharper before the redid it but it still fools even professional semi drivers and more. Slowing down is the only option.
I am Brian’s girlfriend’s mom. Brian and Braxton are both going to be ok. It’s a miracle that they survived. Yes it does make you hold your kids tighter, that’s for sure. They are two of the sweetest boys I’ve ever met. I know that his parents are so thankful that they can hold their child today.
My prayers are with your Brian. God is wrapping you and your family in his arms.
Came through there and traffic was stopped for awhile. It sure will make you wanna wrap your arms around your own kids. Paraying for that young man and all that were involved!
