Two Juveniles Seriously Injured In ATV Crash
July 26, 2017
Two minors were seriously injured in an ATV crash Tuesday evening in Cantonment.
The minors were on an ATV that reportedly collided with the side of a pickup truck near Pace Parkway and Mintz Lane. They were transported to an area hospital as a “trauma alerst” by Escambia County EMS. Neither minor was reported to be wearing a helmet. The pickup driver was not injured.
The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating the crash. The Walnut Hill Station of Escambia Rescue and the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office also responded to the 7 p.m. accident.

I known one of the three. This was a horrible “ACCIDENT”. The word ACCIDENT means it was not done on purpose. I am so thankful there was no one killed.
Maybe a more experienced driver of both the truck and the ACV it may have been
different. But it wasn’t so let’s all be thanksful they are all ok.
I do not think any of the three will be able to forget it or have and emotionally
Reaction. This will make them all better on the road. We learn from our mistakes
I am sure they would all take it back if they could. But as kids they don’t always do
The right thing. I don’t think any person out there as a child or young person has not
Made a mistake.
To address the chance of this young man driving be able to take any other action. It was nothing he could have done differently. He is suffering emotionally and mentally due to this accident. They aren’t going to release any info on him due to his age. This is a horrible accident but thankfully both boys are alive and will recover fully. The wonderful young man driving the truck is having a hard enough time pls be understanding that he done all he could.
We are so blessed that the boys were not more seriously injured. The driver of the truck was truly not at fault and we are grateful that they were not going very fast. Prayers for all and we praise God that he protected all involved.
What about the driver? No info listed on him/her other than not injured and FHP is investigating.
Prayers for the minors on the ATVs but I feel there are other actions by the driver that could have prevented this terrible accident.
Prayers for the children and the driver I know they were all scared to death.
Thank our God above that there were no deaths and may the pain always remind them of the importance of protection and careful driving skills.
