Reported Wrong-Way Driver Killed In Fiery Highway 29 Crash
September 2, 2020
A reported wrong-way driver was killed in a horrific crash on Highway 29 in Molino Tuesday night.
The crash happened in the southbound lanes of Highway 29 near Morgan Cemetery Road about 9:50 p.m. A passenger car was reportedly northbound in the southbound lane when it crashed head-on into a southbound vehicle. The vehicle traveling in the wrong direction burst into flames, claiming the life of the driver.
The driver of the southbound vehicle was airlifted by MedStar helicopter to a Pensacola hospital in critical condition.
Witnesses told NorthEscambia.com that the vehicle was traveling the wrong direction at least as far south as Jimmy’s Grill, about four miles away.
The Florida Highway Patrol no longer releases the names of traffic crash victims.

I’m saddened by losing my friend boys auntie chicken is here for you to her mother i love you and call me if you need anything
Boys, I am so very sorry for your loss. I just found out this morning. My heart hurts for you. Stay strong! Your momma knew you loved her and you always will. Sunshine keep your smile, she would want that.
I wss astonished to hear the devastating news. Chiquita was my neighbor. My heart and prayers goes outside to both families. May the Lord comfort you all.
i miss my momma rip and i am sorry for what i did but you said to always be strong so i am a man so i got to man up and be strong for momma and hold all the drama my mom die thanking nobody loved her because every body did not care but we care so RIP mom i love you
Chiquita was the mother of my children and a good mother at that…so for me to be left with my children and have to explain to them what’s going on its hurting so bad…what’s worse is I know exactly how they feel after loosing my mother 13 years ago…this is another turning point in my life and I pray to God that me and my wife are annoited, protected, and washed in his blood in order to be the greatest parents to my children…this is not easy for my children and I would appreciate it if people would keep us in there prayers both families…you can contact me Maurice Austin Jr. by messenger if you seriously care and love us….Fly High Rest in Peace Chiquita…we love you and you will truly be missed…
Both families are in my thoughts and prayers. My heart truly is going out for the family of Nicole. I have known them for many years and I am truly praying for the recovery her. I am praying for the survivors of the other woman’s family who also lost a sister/mother/friend/aunt….etc. The road is extremely dark and additional light is most definitely needed and has been needed for some time. I don’t want anyone else to have to go through what both of these families are going through currently.
To some people on here who are passing judgment about the victim that got killed in the wreck,she happened to be a good friend and classmate of mines. So if you didn’t know Chiquita then don’t pass judgement, that’s all I’m saying. Rest In Peace, Chiquita
(This is a hard one to accept and deal with)
I’m praying for all the families but need to put some light out there this shouldn’t be happening every 6 month something is true wrong in this area put bright out so this may not happen any more .

This is a very close friend/sister and I’m in continual prayer for her and her family. Please if you know God pray for my sister!
This is absolutely heartbreaking. I’m praying for all the families involved.
We know that the prayers of the righteous availeth much we are truly blessed because it could have been worse but God He’s always in control God is there with you right now sister Nicole your husband is my friend Elder Miller is who I I am as a child growing up into adulthood having 2 travel that road many of nights.
Knowing how lonely and dark the stretch of road is but God I am just overwhelmed I look at the photos of the accident and no you both are still alive Hallelujah but I preferably pray for the victim that lost his life I will be giving you a husband a call soon don’t stop giving God the glory
Steve-the reflectors separating the right and left lanes are red when you’re going the wrong way. People just need to learn to drive. This was
Omg ! I will most definitely be praying for you… I never thought this would happen and now I let did I don’t even know what to say
Nicole we are lifting you up in prayer along with your family!! I thank God your life was spared and pray for the one who lost their life. Much love Nicole
Happens too often. There needs to be some reflectors that illuminate when yu going the wrong way. And they warn you by flashing or something. Seen it in other states.
Nicole, we love you and lift you up in prayer…the Lord made you and he can fix you as well! Stay strong and know that your extended Century Correctional family is here for you. The Great Physician is still in control and you are still in his loving hands. We are putting some things together as we speak for you and your family during all of this. Your whole family is loved and respected. You can do this and we believe in you!
With Love and Sincerity, Your Century CI Family
If they were both going 65 MPH head on collision means it is equivalent to a 130 MPH crash
From the photographs, it appears the debris and point of impact are in the inside or median lane. I have always tried to stay in the outside lane of a four lane highway in case I meet a wrong way vehicle, especially on a hill. Just a bit of security.
Praying for the families. Horrific scene. My goodness, how fast were they going? It’s so dark up that way.
Happens about every six months….
Pray for Nicole. She will have emergency surgery soon
Praying for all involved and their families.
