Three Injured In Highway 4, Munson Road Crash

November 3, 2016

Three people were injured in a 3:25 p.m. crash Wednesday at the intersection of Highway 4 and Munson Highway in northern Santa Rosa County

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, 62-year old Robert Gail Rinehard  of Milton was westbound on Highway 4 when he attempted to make a U-turn in the intersection of Munson Highway. Rinehard’s Chevrolet Silverado collided with with an eastbound Mercury Sable driven by 84-year old Jerry Edward Carroll of Fort Walton Beach.

Carroll swerved his vehicle in an attempt to avoid the collision and left the roadway. The car continued into a roadway marker sign post, vaulted off the top of a drainage structure and became airborne over a ditch before landing on Munson Highway and colliding with a Chervrolet Tahoe driven by 35-year old Robyn Gwen Hardy Enfinger of Milton.

Enfinger and Carroll were seriously injured, while Carroll’s passenger, 87-year old Sara Harvey Carroll was critically injured.

Charges against Rinehard, who was not injured, are pending, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

    Sparkles, This is one of many accidents that have taken place at this intersection. Possibly the first caused by a U-turn. A caution light is most definitely needed. Its locals that are being struck by out of towners not being familiar with the intersection and traffic laws.

    A four way stop wont stop people from making a U-turn in front of oncoming traffic as appears was the case in this accident.. I drive this intersection to and from work everyday and am always amazed at the ignorance of people driving here and coming and going from the store and it has nothing to do with stop sign placement.

    PRAYERS TO ALL THAT ARE INJURED. MAY -BE NOW THEY WILL TAKE THE SPEED LIMIT ON HYWAY 4 BACK TO 55 MPH AND MAKE THAT INTERSECTION AT MUNSON A FOUR WAY LIKE BERRYDALE.
