Driver Runs Through Molino Pipeline Construction Zone

February 15, 2018

A medical condition may have been to blame for an accident Wednesday night in Molino.

A driver, according to witnesses, traveled southbound in the northbound lanes of Highway 29 near Highway 95A before running off the road into a pipeline construction zone. The driver ran into the ditch, barely missing construction equipment and stopping just short of a large hole.

The driver was transported by ambulance to a Pensacola hospital by Escambia County EMS. The incident is being investigated by the Florida Highway Patrol.

    I drive it every day and I get in the far lane because there are so many workers there – why can’t some of these drivers going 70-80 mph get in the other lane – it scares me to death every day

    I am so thankful that none of the workers were hit. They are working long-hard hours in very close quarters to the highway and then someone driving the wrong way comes through. MAYBE, just saying maybe it is time to put the drivers license away and the car keys…age, medical conditions, distractions, drinking or drugs kill innocent people. Thank GOD not this time…not now anyways. Workers keep your eyes open in both directions! I do hope the driver is safe also.
