Child Hit By Vehicle
January 18, 2016
A 9-year old boy was in serious condition after being hit by a vehicle Sunday afternoon in Escambia County.
The Florida Highway Patrol said the boy was playing with friends in the 3400 block of Tarragona Street when he attempted to cross the street. The driver of a 2002 Dodge Stratus, 17-year old Warren Grahamm of Pensacola, failed to observe the boy and hit him.
The boy was transported to Sacred Heart Hospital with serious injuries.
Grahamm was cited for driving too fast for conditions by the FHP.

@nod, too fast for conditions does not mean speeding. A driver should keep his mind on driving and be totally aware of everything going on around him. If a car, person or a puddle on the road could cause trouble the driver is supposed to have enough sense to take caution and slow down.
Praying for healing. This is the worst fear of any parent. God bless.
Yea, I think when a pedestrian is in front of your vehicle, any speed is going to be “to fast for conditions” .
Too fast for conditions refers to situations in which your visibility is diminished (such as fog, topping hills, rounding curves, etc) or when weather (snow, rain, etc) affects your driving capabilities or other circumstances such as driving down a street that is crowded with pedestrians.
it’s in the drivers handbook, too fast for conditions means just what it says. they are probably saying he was driving too fast around children at play, which is a law even if he is going the speed limit posted for the street
I have the same question as Nod…
Also what does “too fast for conditions” mean?
Just curious, what is too fast for conditions, was he speeding or not?
Prayers for both these young boys.
