Single Vehicle Wreck Near Century Claims One Life
March 14, 2021
A single vehicle crash Saturday night claimed the life of an adult male about three miles west of Century.
The 53-year old man was westbound on Highway 4A approaching Broomes Road when he lost control in a curve and left the roadway. His vehicle struck a culvert and went airborne over a driveway in the wreck that was discovered about 10:45 p.m.
He was pronounced deceased at the scene. There were no passengers in the vehicle.
The roadway was closed at least two hours by the crash.
The Florida Highway Patrol no longer releases the names of traffic crash victims.
The Century and McDavid stations of Escambia Fire Rescue, Escambia County EMS and the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office also responded.

has anyone though that it my be med, promblem
I’ve lived and driven on 4A for over 55yrs.
Never had an accident.
Yes, the road has some stuff curves, and a few potholes.
Those things have NOTHING to do with the number of accidents.
SPEED IS THE GREATEST FACTOR !!! If a driver follows the speed limit, and pays
attention to the road, he should NEVER have an accident.
I have been traveling Hwy 4A for over 40 years. It is true that speed could be a factor for some of the accidents but also true are the road conditions. Narrow road, pot holes in and on the sides of the road and needs restriping. Fog plays an important part in driving this time of year. Prayers going to this man’s family and friends.
I will leave the wreck forensics to all the posters.
My heart goes out to the family and prayers.
This is gut wrenching to know that kind of pain one feels losing a loved one.
Been there.
there have been numerous accidents in that area. speed has been a cause. the road is narrow, you do have to pay attention in that area.
This road is to narrow and needs to be striped, it’s hell to see with on coming traffic at night
Citizen it appears someone ( West Fl Regional Planning Council)presented their wants to the BCC.
Not the BCC presented projects they had funding for.
Prayers for this man and his family.
@Citizen – Don’t blame it on the county. I have lived just a mile or so from that curve for two decades and have never had issues there. The two biggest problems in that curve are speeding and driver inattentiveness. I don’t know what the issue was in this accident, but I know it wasn’t the road.
The county had a plan in 2015 to improve this road. It ispast time.
Six years ago and still not done.
Stop ignoring it BCC
