June 20, 2020
An Alabama man was killed in an early morning wrong-way driver wreck on I-10 near the westbound weigh station in Escambia County.
The Florida Highway Patrol said a 46-year old female from McKinney, Texas, was traveling eastbound in the westbound lanes when her SUV collided head on with a sedan driven by a 25-year old male from Theodore, Alabama. The vehicles collided head on about 1:45 a.m.
The male was pronounced deceased at the scene, while the woman was transported to an area hospital in serious condition. A passenger in sedan, a 34-year old male from Theodore, was extricated and transported to an area hospital in serious condition.
Any charges in the crash are pending the results of a traffic homicide investigation.
The Florida Highway Patrol no longers releases the names of any wreck victims.
Updated 11:55 am to reflect that there was a passenger in the sedan. The original FHP release did not indicate a passenger.
