Driver Crashes Into FHP Trooper’s Vehicle On I-110

July 16, 2020

A Florida Highway Patrol trooper received minor injuries when a vehicle crashed into his patrol unit in Escambia County.

Trooper said a car occupied by two 18-year old Baldwin County women lost control in a curve of an I-110 ramp to I-10. Their vehicle began to rotate and struck the trooper’s marked vehicle parked on the north shoulder of the ramp. The force of the collision pushed the FHP vehicle off the road into multiple trees.

The trooper along with the driver and passenger of the other vehicle were transported a local hospital with minor injuries.

    The only good thing to come out of that curve is making people aware that they need to replace their tires. So many people hit that curb at the speed limit and slide. A little rain —->>>>>>> SPIN OUT………. SMACK!!!!!
    They should set up a camera and show it as a public service announcement during the broadcast of Blue Lights.

    Add to your name if you agree.

    Even at the 40-45 mph limit that that turn has is too fast when it’s wet. The turn is poorly designed. It continuously tightens as you progress through it and there is very little if any banking to hold a car to the roadway. To top it off it suddenly switches back right at the end. Locals understand but tourists enter that turn unknowing. I work for an emergency service and it’s a very notorious spot for wrecks. The same day the trooper was struck there were 4 other separate incidents in and around that interchange.
