A wreck Sunday morning at Mobile Highway and Klondike Road claimed the life of a 30-year old man.

The Florida Highway Patrol said he was headed south on Klondike Road in a Corvette about 10:15 a.m. when he failed to stop at a stop sign and traveled into Mobile Highway. His vehicle was hit by a Dodge Ram driven westbound by a 37-year old Pensacola man.

The driver of the Corvette was airlifted to Baptist Hospital where he was later pronounced deceased. The pickup truck driver was not injured.

    @ Gerald
    You are 100% correct.
    Been driving that intersection 67 years
    I am still alive.
    I follow the rules and signage.
    Dont matter what kind of car or truck you drive,
    I have had 4 near misses there…people pulling out on me ..but..I drive the speed and I dont act like the world is coming to an end if I dont get to where I am going in 3 seconds.
    Do what you are supposed to do and people need t o stop thinking they are above it all
    The person that perished was a human as the rest of us.
    It is not a sketchy intersection…we dont a sketchy engineer in Escambia County that makes sketchy intersections. That mentality is what gets people killed.
    People are sketchy…by nature,
    Prayers for that young man and family.

    If you can’t see a Stop Sign, then you can’t see a Red Light.

    That’s a sketchy intersection. My husband passes through that intersection often in our corvette. There needs to be a light there.

    This is tragic and hurtful
    Many claim there should be a red light there and many other places
    Humans are humans, we make mistakes.
    You can not engineer a human to be perfect.
    People speed, run stop signs, run red lights…if there is a law, we break it.
    Sincerely my thoughts and prayers for the family and all involved
