Four Injured In Kingsfield Rollover Crash At Exact Location Of January Double Fatal
November 27, 2019
Four people were injured in a rollover crash Tuesday night at the scene of a double fatal wreck earlier this year.
The Florida Highway Patrol said 18-year old Gavin McCollum of Pensacola was traveling west on East Kingsfield Road when he traveled off the roadway and struck a culvert near Country Place Circle. His Hyundai Elantra then hit a driveway embankment, a power pole and a fence before overturning into a yard very near a residence, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
McCollum and passengers Latrell Foster, 20, Dillion Wright, 18, and a 15-year old male were all transported to Sacred Heart Hospital with minor injuries.
McCollum was ticketed for careless driving.
The crash happened at the exact location of a rollover wreck that claimed the lives of Tate High School student Sean Banks and his sister Antoinette McCoy last January. The siblings were hit by a man allegedly driving under the influence.

Speed bumps on a road where speed limit is 35-45mph… impossible. Speed bumps are for residential neighborhoods (25 mph or less) not main roads. People need to pay attention to driving. Going too slow is just as dangerous. Example… person trying to merge on interstate the other day going 15 mph…NOT SAFE AT ALL. ALMOST caused a horrible accident…other drivers were not speeding…just couldn’t have foreseen someone going that slow. Just saying all accidents aren’t caused by speeders. As driver’s we need to pay attention to our surroundings and just drive
>>Thought the sisters were killed on a head-on wreck,not roll over?
Their vehicle rolled over after the collision. BTW, they were not sisters but a brother and sister.
Thought the sisters were killed on a head-on wreck,not roll over?
When will SOMETHING be done to make Kingsfield road safer??? These turns are dangerous when traveled at high speed and there is no room for error. Drivers need to SLOW DOWN, put devices DOWN and pay attention! I always slow down in these turns while I watch several others speed up. It’s like a game to them. Can you tell I’m sick of this?! Speed bumps and flashing speed caution lights would be great.
People drive way too fast on Kingsfield. I have almost been hit head on twice by people passing where double lines are.
Just like 99.99% of the wrecks in this area, they could all be avoided if people will focus on the task of driving first of all. I would guess that the speed limit was being exceeded and a cell phone was involved. Drove Kingsfield Road for many years and never even had a tire hit the grass alongside of the road. Speed bumps? Stop lights? NO!!!! Paying attention? YES!!!!
Maybe speed bumps? isn’t there a slight curve there.
..please..when driving , please stay focused to have a great Thanksgiving…
Excessive speed and careless driving
This is sad. Not saying this cause this wreck. People need to slow down.
