Driver Hits Utility Pole In Cantonment
January 18, 2019
A driver ran off the roadway and snapped a utility pole in Cantonment Friday afternoon.
There were no injuries in the crash about 1:15 p.m. on Muscogee Road near Jacks Branch Road, but Muscogee Road was temporarily closed.
As Gulf Power worked to safely make repairs, about 130 customers lost power in the area of Muscogee and Beulah Roads.
The accident is under investigation by the Florida Highway Patrol. Escambia County EMS and the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office also responded.

@Susan Smith—My car has all of those sensors also, but will NOT make the car do what hers ended up doing. Read again, the eyewitness report from Erica.
Little did the lady know the car had automatic lane sensors and sensors for cars in front of it. Instrad of smearing someonre know all the facts. Just thank god she is alive she is someones mother sidte and wife.
I was the one that called 911 and saw it happen. She was behind me for miles coming from Beulah and swerving back and forth and running off the road. She would get right on my bumper and then back way off so I thought she was drunk or texting. After turning onto muscogee rd she then got in the wrong lane and kept driving then she switched back to the right lane and she did this a few times. I was terrified another car would come and she would hit them head on but thank God nobody did! I was about to call the police about it but before I could I got a good distance ahead of her and I was watching in the mirror and then all of the sudden she swerved again into the other lane then went off of the road and crashed into the pole. A neighbor came out and we also helped her get out of the car and made sure she was ok and then the ambulance and police came. I was scared to death she would hit me or someone else but thank God everyone is ok.
It’s still closed as of 1605.
