September 5, 2019
A Bay Minette man has passed away as the result of injuries he suffered in a single vehicle crash last week in extreme northwestern Escambia County just south of the Alabama-Florida state line.
Melvin Leonce Carpenter, 74, was northbound on North Pineville Road through a canopy of trees on August 29 when for an unknown reason he traveled off the southbound shoulder and struck multiple trees, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Carpenter was transported by Escambia County EMS to Atmore Community Hospital, transferred to a medical helicopter and airlifted to Sacred Heart Hospital.
He passed away August 30 at Sacred Heart Hospital, Florida Highway Patrol Lt. Robert Cannon told NorthEscambia.com on Wednesday. The FHP ws not immediately notified of Carpenter’s passing, leading to the delayed report.
Carpenter’s dog was also inside the vehicle and was not injured.
Firefighters from Escambia Fire Rescue, the Nokomis Volunteer Fire Department and Atmore Fire Department also responded.
