One Critically Injured In 10 Mile Road Crash
February 17, 2020
One person was critically injured in a single vehicle crash on 10 Mile Road just east of the railroad tracks Monday morning.
The vehicle left the roadway and hit a utility pole and a tree, ejecting the adult male driver. He was transported to an area hospital by Escambia County EMS as a trauma alert. His name has not yet been released as the Florida Highway Patrol investigates.
The roadway remained closed as Gulf Power worked to replace the pole, which was snapped in the 6:37 a.m. collision.

If anybody has taken any basic driving courses, or took math classes, then you would know that even only going 35, hitting a stationary object can create an obscene amount of force, esp. without a seatbelt & if you were unprepared. With the roads being wet, it’s possible he hit a wet spot & hydroplaned. Until the investigation is complete, no one will know what happened, so it’s best to not speak down on something without knowing the full story.
replying to j….. yes going 35mph can generate enough force to eject you from the vehicle, especially without a seatbelt on.. when you hit a hard stationary item…. prayers for the family of this person.. hope they survived this accident..
Maybe we should consider the driver may have had a medical emergency which cause the acceleration before we start judging that they were speeding intentionally. How would you feel if it was your relative seeing these kind of comments?
WOW!! Praying for a fast recovery. How fast was this person going to have caused this much damage to this vehicle?
Maybe slow down a bit? I mean the speed limit on that road is 35 mph … so hitting a stationary object shouldn’t have generated enough force to eject someone from the vehicle … Sorry … not trying to be mean.
Wow, how fast was he going, praying for a quick recovery for this young man.
