One Airlifted After Wreck At Foot Of Escambia River Bridge
April 10, 2016
One person was airlifted to a Pensacola hospital following a wreck at the foot of the Escambia River Bridge in Century Saturday night.
A man in his 50’s lost control of his pickup truck and rotated several times on East Highway 4, striking a guardrail. The man was found on the ground next to the truck, but it was not immediately clear if he was ejected from the vehicle. He was transported by ambulance to the nearby EMS Post in Century and then airlifted by Lifeguard helicopter to Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola.
It appeared the the crash may have been related to a medical condition.
Traffic on the Escambia County side of the bridge was reduced to one lane for well over an hour following the 8:25 p.m. accident.
The accident remains under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol. The Century Station of Escambia Fire Rescue, Escambia County EMS and the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office also responded to the crash.

I too came up on this accident. Has anyone heard an update on the condition of the driver?
Thank you, WitnessKB and EMS for being in the right place at the right time and for your compassion and rapid response. Our family is in prayer for this gentleman.
@ witnesskb. Thanks for your help.
Hope he will be OK.
We watched the whole thing happen cause we was going towards Jay and he was coming towards Century and he was about 40 yards infront of us when it started. He WAS in fact ejected cause we watched him come out of the truck. We called 911 as soon as possible. Prayers to him and his family.
