Man Ejected In I-10 Rollover Crash
April 8, 2018
A 19-year old Pensacola man is recovering after being ejected in an early morning crash on I-10.
The Florida Highway Patrol said Christopher Gallardoabreu was traveling east in the inside lane on I-10 east of Nine Mile Road in a 2007 Nissan Altima. Tyler Goodwin, 33, of Pensacola, was also eastbound but in the outside lane. Gallardoabreu entered Goodwin’s lane and struck his Dodge Caravan about 1:40 a.m.
Gallardoabreu’s Altima overturned, ejecting him as the vehicle came to rest upside down on I-10. One lane of I-10 was closed for about 30 minutes until a wrecker could remove the vehicle. There was no traffic back up during the lane restriction.
Gallardoabreu suffered only minor injuries and was cited for careless driving and no seat belt by the FHP. Goodwin was not injured.

REGARDING:
“Maybe this is one of the times not wearing a seatbelt saved his life.”
Where he would have been seems undamaged and was padded. Pavement is not padded. It looks like he survived despite cutting himself from his best protection.
David for lowered risks
Comparing these statistics with those of deaths caused by illegal firearms, there should be a ban on automobiles! There is no comparison. A loaded car is deadly!
REGARDING:
“Why is it that more than what I would consider to be usual for local drivers to be involved in so many crashes in Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties on I-10?”
Local drivers wreck locally because they are more apt to drive locally. I-10 in Florida is one of the least deadly stretches to drive.

Hummm. Maybe this is one of the times not wearing a seatbelt saved his life. Just a thought.
Just an observation….I-10 runs from Jacksonville, FL, to Santa Monica,CA. It is a major US highway, connecting with other major highways in all the lower tier of states bringing motorists to and from south Florida, the Pacific coast and back. At any given time there are vehicles from many states.
Why is it that more than what I would consider to be usual for local drivers to be involved in so many crashes in Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties on I-10?
wow, divine providence at work here, the rest is gravy for you young man! something big called life is planned for you.
