    “has one ticket & it was from having no trailer lights on a trailer he was pulling also with no tag on the trailer never from speeding that I know of.”

    That in itself is dangerous! This is not careful driving! This is taken directly from a post by John…..Regardless, Speeding or Not – CARE needs to be used when driving this part of Hwy95A & N Chipper Rd – Had he NOT been disregarding something, he would not of “lost control and ran off the roadway” as stated in the reported article, and done that much damage as the photos show – my opinion and I am entitled to one just as everyone else is.

    I’m sincerely sorry to here about this accident involving Chris. I was just made aware of this situation this evening. The pictures look horrible and I can’t imagine the unsettled feelings of fear and pain involved for him and the family. We never know what life throws at us and what tomorrow holds for our journey and It is our hope he is on the road for a healthy speedy recovery. We will pray for healing.

    @John. Glad to hear he is OK so far. Prayers that he stays that way. Don’t take the negative stuff personally. People seem to think the worst regardless of the facts. Just praise God he wasn’t killed or badley injured. Just goes to show, bad stuff can happen to anyone.

    The man that crashed this morning happens to be my brother-in-law he is 40 years old & has one ticket & it was from having no trailer lights on a trailer he was pulling also with no tag on the trailer never from speeding that I know of. He has one of the best driving records in Escambia County Fl.I’m glad he’s okay too for now not hoping anything bad comes out of this but he has several more trips back to the doctor to be checked out periodically for the next month for sure. It just burns me up when a good careful driver like himself gets blasted by what you people are basically calling him a statistic because you see a lot of wrecks with people driving over the posted speed limits. Would bet my paycheck that was not the case in this situation

    Chris….glad you are okay. Accidents can happen to any of us at anytime, but we are thankful you alive and will recover.

    I did not say anyone was speeding or did anything wrong. I’m asking that everyone in general exercise extra caution over these hills.

    I do pray that his gentleman recovers with no injuries. I was thankful to see him go into the ambulance sitting up with his eyes open, as I myself was scared he was gone. As one of his family members stated here, God kept him here for a reason.. He skinned a HUGE pine tree that could of taken his life. On a side note… In general conversation… Since this keep happening on this hill on 95A.. This is the second wreck in 3 days in front of my property/next to my property as my husband(Scott) stated. Please be careful when going over hills. I think there needs to be a sign saying hidden drive ways.

    Saw this this morning. Bad spot. The police lights blinded me as I topped the hill heading south. Glad to here it wasn’t too serious.

    & how do any of you know he was speeding ? So why even reccomend him slowing down ? Please stop bashing & pray for my uncle because he is alive because of one reason & that is because the man upstairs GOD needs him here with us to raise his beautiful daughter & be beside my aunt.

  11. Brittanie Roley. on January 19th, 2016 9:31 am

    Please keep my Uncle in your prayers, He is a very careful person this was an ACCIDENT, Instead of bashing his driving pray that he is gonna be okay & pull through. I love you Uncle Chris ❤

    How about let’s worry about the driver. The first poster decides because she was “told” something she knows what happened. How about look at the sunrise time and the time of the accident. Knowing him, I know he’s a careful driver because like me he’s a husband and father and he works very hard. I know the family very well and his wife is a wonderful mother and employee. And I am praying that everything will be alright. Everything else is secondary in life to your loved ones.

    It’s rare that I ask people to slow down…mostly because I’ve done a lot of driving in Europe where the speed limit is much higher (and the drivers are much more skilled)…however Yes I do agree with the Gilleys and Tim. It’s hilly in our area, and there’s a lot of narrow country roads. PLEASE…pay attention and let off the gas a little bit!!!!

  14. Timothy Jeter on January 19th, 2016 8:23 am

    Please slow down… This is the second one that has happened, the first one was this past Saturday night , I live right behind Scott Gilley

    My son and I were eating breakfast when we heard the crash. I went out and gave the guy on the phone with 911 the location. I’m so glad he is going to be ok. On a different note, folks please slow down going over these hills where you can’t see what’s next. We llive here with our four children. Often we pull out and can’t even get up to speed before someone going 80 is on our bumper slamming their brakes. I was told this man swerved while going south over the hill to keep from hitting a newspaper carrier turning into my neighbor’s drive on the west side of the street. Still I am very glad he will be ok.

    This is the second wreck by my property in a week. I pray that the guy is OK.
