Vehicle Stopped By Guardrail Protecting House
September 11, 2019
A car slammed into a guardrail at a Century intersection Wednesday morning, stopping short of hitting a nearby house.
The juvenile driver of a Volkswagen sedan apparently rounded a curve and failed to stop at a stop sign on Jefferson Avenue at Pond Street. The vehicle went through the intersection and hit the guardrail designed to protect a house about 10 feet away.
The driver and two other juveniles in the vehicle were not seriously injured.
The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating and has not released any additional information.
The Century Station of Escambia Fire Rescue and Escambia County EMS also responded.

@John Doe who said “breaks don’t leave skid marks”????
Actually for the people saying “Breaks don’t leave skid marks” they in fact do if the car is equipped with anti-lock brakes ( ABS ) which are designed to prevent tire lockup and subsequent skidding. … Vehicles equipped with ABS brakes will in fact leave faint tire marks on the roadway when the ABS system is activated.
Yeah the brakes failed……. Failed to stop a speeding car on a dime…… Come on now
When brakes fail, tires don’t leave skid marks.
good going guardrail! well done!
Didn’t realize that failed breaks could leave marks like this.
It’s a good thing no one was coming on Pond or Jefferson. As a matter of fact, I just travelled that area this morning. Luckily, from the looks of the picture, I came through a couple or three hours before they did.
The cars brakes failed. My son was in the backseat. I am thankful the kids were not hurt.
That’s a long way to skid given its a small neighborhood road. Slow down, people!!!
That piece of old Railroad track did it’s job.
based on the tire marks, this driver was moving quickly.
The obvious skid marks show too much speed.
