Semi Truck Overturns On Highway 29
January 5, 2021
There were no serious injuries reported when a semi-truck overturned Tuesday morning on Highway 29 just south of Bluff Springs Road.
The truck hauling paper products came to rest on its side in the median about 9:35 a.m.
The highway remained open both north and southbound, but drivers were urged to slow and use caution in the area.
Escambia County EMS and Escambia Fire Rescue responded. The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating the cause of the wreck.

REGARDING:
“The way the truck is sitting makes no sense on how it happened. The truck is completely reverse as to how it should be.”
Something of a jackknife. The trailer passed the tractor which thereby turned the tractor around to face south while still headed north. The unsecured paper went north most of all after the trailer finally stopped. For location, notice the post in the lower left corner of the picture which used to hold up the GREEN’S MONUMENTS AND FENCES sign.The wreck was south of there and up Pleasant Hill.
Those curves have led to many a wreck. They look easy to navigate.
David for better reflector replacement
(not that it played a part here)
SOMETIMES THE LOAD IS NOT LOADED CORRECTLY AND IT CAN SHIFT CAUSING THE TRAILER TO SHIFT ONCE THE TRAILER STARTS LEANING FROM THE SHIFTED LOAD SOMETIMES THE DRIVER CANNOT CORRECT IT AND SPEED DID NOT HAVE ANY THING TO DO WITH THE WRECK
@ bill, the speed limit isn’t 65 through there going towards Pensacola coming from century, it’s 55. The speed limit doesn’t go to 65 until you pass Thomson road on the straight away pass the S curves going towards Pensacola.
People will travel fast regardless of the speed limit anywhere.
IM a little lost. The way the truck is sitting makes no sense on how it happened. The truck is completely reverse as to how it should be.
That is a very bad and dangerous curve. Speed should not be increased to 65 until passing that curve.
Most likely speed they run 80 plus mph in ungoverned trucks.
