15 People Injured In Pace 10-Vehicle Wreck; Driver Dies After Crashing At Saufley Field Gate; Three Injured In Highway 29 Wreck
June 19, 2020
Fifteen people were injured in an 10 vehicle crash in Pace, a driver died after crashing into a barrier at Saufley Field, and three people were injured in a Friday morning crash on Highway 29.
Pace Crash
The Florida Highway Patrol said a commercial tree trimming boom truck was traveling west of Highway 90 approaching Floridatown Road when the driver failed to slow as he approached traffic stopped at a signal.
The driver of a motorcycle saw the truck approaching and attempted to dismount the motorcycle to avoid injury, causing the truck to hit the left side of the motorcycle before striking the rear of a SUV. The truck then began to rotate into other vehicles, overturning on top of a pickup truck.
There were 15 people injured in the pileup, but all of the injuries were minor. They ranged in age from five to 68.
Saufley Field Crash
A 20-year old man failed to stop his vehicle for unknown reasons at the front gate checkpoint at NAS Saufley Field about 10:25 p.m. Thursday. His vehicle struck a barrier and overturned.
FHP said the man, whose name has not been released, died from his injuries.
Highway 29, Detroit Boulevard

At least one person was extricated from a vehicle after the multi-vehicle crash just before 7 a.m. All three were transported to area hospitals, two of them under trauma alerts.
The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating.
