Alabama Man Killed In Escambia County I-10 Crash

June 20, 2017

An Alabama man was killed in a crash early Tuesday morning on I-10 in Escambia County.

The Florida Highway Patrol said 28-year Ryan Michael Prather of Saraland was traveling at a high rate of speed eastbound on I-10 about the 5-mile marker in an Infiniti G35 when he rear-ended a tractor-trailer driven by 61-year old Patrick Henry of Mobile. A third vehicle driven by 38-year old Jason Weems of Pensacola struck some debris from the first crash.

Prather was pronounced deceased on the scene. Henry and Weems were not injured.
