Dump Truck Driver Seriously Injured In Cantonment Rollover Crash

August 26, 2021

A dump truck driver was seriously injured when his truck overturned Thursday morning in Cantonment.

Firefighters worked about 20 minutes to extricate the 51-year old driver from the wreckage on Muscogee Road near Beulah Road. The driver was airlifted to a Pensacola hospital with injuries not considered life threatening.

The Florida Highway Patrol said the crash about 8:10 a.m. was due to a mechanical failure as the driver attempted to make a right turn.

The Cantonment, Beulah, Bellview, and Brent stations of Escambia Fire Rescue responded, along with Escambia County EMS and the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.

    @Jr The driver had to be either turning onto Muskogee rd , Beulah rd or River annex, thats the only options.
