Pedestrian Struck And Killed On I-10; Troopers Seeking Tractor Trailer Truck

February 4, 2020

A pedestrian was struck and kill on I-10 in Escambia County Monday night, and the Florida Highway Patrol is search for a tractor trailer that may have hit him.

It happened about 8:45 p.m. on I-10 eastbound just east of Highway 29.

The Florida Highway Patrol said 23-year old Cory Reddick of Pensacola was walking in between the center and far right lane of I-10. Troopers said 21-year old Amber Jones of Milton saw Reddick in the roadway and attempted to swerve, but her 2013 Kia Soul collided with him.

“Through the course of our investigation we have determined that the pedestrian in last night’s fatal crash was also struck by a tractor-trailer after the initial collision,” Lt. Robert Cannon, FHP public affairs office, said. “We have no description of the tractor-trailer but there will be physical evidence on the semi from the collision.  We are asking for assistance from the public in helping us to locate and identify the tractor-trailer.”

Anyone having information can contact the Florida Highway Patrol at (850) 484-5000, or by dialing *FHP (347) from a cell phone.

The investigation is continuing.

    I had a homeless guy walk out in front of me yesterday on Pine Forest Road, he’s lucky I have really good brakes. Armadillos are stupid, they don’t know any better, seems people aren’t paying attention to what they were taught when they were young. Look Both Ways Before Crossing.
