Vehicle Hit By Train In Cantonment; Atmore Man Hospitalized
December 14, 2018
An Atmore man was seriously injured Thursday night when his vehicle was struck by a train in Cantonment.
The accident happened about 11:40 p.m. on County Road 97 just south of Muscogee Road.
The Florida Highway Patrol said 20-year old Dustin Ryan Crumbley was traveling north when he failed to stop in time at an Alabama Gulf Coast Railway railroad crossing. The train engine collided with the side of his 2000 Toyota Tundra.
He was transported to an area hospital as a “trauma alert” by Escambia County EMS. A puppy in the vehicle was also seriously injured and taken to a veterinarian at an emergency animal clinic in Pensacola.
The FHP cited Crumbley for failure to obey a railroad crossing traffic control device and for not wearing a seat belt.
The marked crossing has flashing lights, but no crossing arms.

Dustin is a very responsible driver. It just shows that accidents can happen to all of us and that sometimes we do become distracted. God was definitely with him in order for him to survive this. I had a very bad accident when I was 16 and I know how you live with it the rest of your life. Prayers to this entire loving family.
Dan exhaust has nothing to do with this accident and before you go talking about something this my buddy and we’re just glad our buddy is still alive which you should be feeling the same way He had catalytic converters on that truck if you’d zoom in and look. But that’s besides the point my buddy is laying in a hospital bed fighting for his life while your still walking around breathing fine how bout instead of judging something you know nothing about pray for my buddy thanks!
I have also been on a train track near Muscogee Road and nearly watched a train hit someone it is dangerous and should be fixed immediately.
No matter whether it has lights and arms or none you should check to see if clear
He probably did not here the train
The exhaust piping is hooked directly to the engine header without a cat converter and no muffler. Very loud vehicle
Prayers for Dustin for a full recovery and another opportunity at life. Prayers from Molino and also from his friend in Texas. Prayers for God’s guidance for Dustin and for those administering Dustin’s care.
I just dont see how this stuff happens.
There needs to be lights and cross arms at Nowak road and Muscogee. That crossing has nothing and I don’t know how that’s legal. I always stopped roll down my windows and look. People fly through it all the time and I always think about someone getting hit. I pray for this guy and his dog. I live in the neighborhood right in front of the railroad tracks off Muscogee and that train halls butt at night. There are many nights I thought it was going to crash through my backyard because it was going so fast ,very loud.
.I have never seen a train there going more than 5 MPH..People need to pay just a little bit of attention when driving..
A hard way to learn a basic lesson. Prayers for a complete and timely recovery for this young man.
The last time I heard of a vehicle being hit by the AGCR was in 1976, near West Roberts Road.
Prayers for a speedy recovery.
Usually… Gross tonnage trumps everything…
The train will win every time.
