Driver Crashes Into Marked FHP Unit With Lights Flashing On I-10
July 21, 2021
A driver crashed into a marked Florida Highway Patrol with emergency lights activated Wednesday morning on the interstate in Escambia County.
According to FHP, the 25-year old Milton man was traveling northbound on the I-110 ramp to westbound I-10 approaching the scene of another traffic crash. FHP said the man passed a Road Ranger vehicle marking a closed lane, entered the lane and crashed into the FHP patrol unit.
There were no injuries reported.

Mistook it for a school bus, perhaps?
Maybe he was calling 911. For the wreck that he was about to be involved in. Here’s your sign!!
@Concerned – I missed where it said he was using a cell phone. I figured he assumed that the Road Ranger was the only emergency vehicle until it was too late. Being 25 indicates a possible lack of experience with these situations (but not anymore!)
Praying for the young man, and for grace and good sense for all.
Wow that’s what happens when you decide a cell phone can drive your car real smart and I hope the judge takes his cell phone and license for a long time. Almost got a trooper killed ! Let that sink in !!!!!
