Motorcyclist Dies In Escambia County Crash
October 26, 2021
A motorcyclist was killed in a crash Monday afternoon in Southwest Escambia County.
A 64-year Escambia County man pulled his pickup truck from a stop sign on Allanthus Drive onto Bauer Road and into the path of a motorcycle driven by a 52-year old Pace man, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. The motorcyclist attempted to avoid a collision by braking suddenly, but he was thrown from the bike. He was then struck by the pickup truck.
The man was pronounced deceased at the scene.
The FHP is continuing their investigation.

God rest your soul, Big Mike. If I ever needed anything, this guy would have shown up. I’m so glad you finally get to rest. You did a good job. I’m sad that I’ll never get to hear you ask about my mama and my kiddo again. Thank you for being there for me and my family at a very trying time.
Why did it take so long for the ME to pick the poor guy up that laid on the road for hours? I realize that the Hwy Patrol has to take pictures & measurements.
Probably another case of “I didn’t see him.” I wish they would start putting people in jail who kill others on the road. Maybe then people would start seeing motorcycles.
This explanation does not make sense. There is a stop sign but the man didn’t stop & look. The poor guy on the motocycle saw the truck running the stop sign & tried to avoid collision. But you can’t stop the motorcycles that fast. Prayers for both families.
State Troopers need to be on Bauer Road from Hwy 98 to Sorrento.
Send that old man to jail!!! He doesn’t need to be on the road! RIP Mike. You will be missed
