One Injured In Tedder Road Crash

May 2, 2016

One person was injured in a single vehicle on Tedder Road near Century Sunday evening.

About 6:20 p.m, the 18-year old male driver failed to negotiate a curve in Tedder Road just west of Elsie Davis Road and entered a wooded area. The truck traveled several yards into the wooded area, taking down several small trees, before it came to rest against a pine tree.

The driver was transported by Escambia County EMS to Jay Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

The accident remains under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol. The Century Station of Escambia Fire Rescue also responded to the call.

    I just wanted to say THANK YOU to Escambia EMS and Escambia Fire/Rescue – Century for coming to the aide of my son. I know it’s your job but you still deserve a big THANK YOU! Also, I would like to thank the initial couple who stopped to help him. Yes he had called me but he was in shock and if it wasn’t for you, then I wouldn’t have known where he wrecked…..I do not know your names but I greatly appreciate you staying with my son until help arrived and I could get there to be with him. I wish I knew who you were so me and my son could thank you in person! God certainly blessed us because even though he is injured, he is alive and will be okay! Thanks again!

    At least my brother is okay, and not seriously badly injured.

    They need to sit on Roach Rd in McDavid too, but they don’t. Those are residents, some of them act like its a game to punch the pedal to the floor board when they see someone. I’ve seen them go @ least 60 on that one too, believe it or not.

    Tedder toad is a dangerous road. People treat it like it’s a speedway. Part closest to 29 is straightaway. I’ve seen people doing over 60 on it and it’s a limit of 40. And worse is when they do it while kids are waiting for the bus, and in the afternoons when busses are unloading. ISome are CCI employees some are just residents. Then the end closer to Hwy 4 is soooo curvy….if they are apeeding…..someone was bound to go off in those woods. I’m glad no one was killed. Maybe this will bring an ongoing issue to the local PD. We’ve had them sit on Tedder before and watch for speeders. They need to come back.
