One Person Critically Injured In I-10 Rollover Crash
October 4, 2021
One person was critically injured in a rollover crash on I-10 Monday afternoon.
The crash happened before 3 p.m. on the eastbound side of the interstate between Pine Forest Road at Highway 29. A, 33-year old Grand Bay, Alabama woman was airlifted to a Pensacola hospital by LifeFlight.
The Florida Highway Patrol said the woman was traveling east when she lost drifted off the right side of the road, overcorrected to the left and suddenly veered to the right. She collided with a tree, causing her pickup truck to overturn and partially eject her.
I-10 eastbound was closed due to the crash, with one lane reopening shortly before 4 p.m. I-10 westbound remained open following the wreck, but traffic was moving very slowly.
By about 5 p.m., all lanes were reopened.
The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating the crash and has not released further details.

My prayers are with her. I hope she has a speedy recovery. To the first responders and anyone else who helped out at this accident, may God Bless you all.
If everyone read the driver handbook again, and actually followed it we would be a lot safer.. https://www3.flhsmv.gov/handbooks/englishdriverhandbook.pdf
Well said, it’s not the highway, but those operating vehicles on the highway!!

Sorry to have to say it, but, too many people with poor driving skills. Driving too fast for road conditions, various distractions that divert attention, vehicles with poor handling characteristics (trucks, SUV’s), poor decisions and an overall lack of caution!
Drive like your life depends on it!
Any thoughts on why the stretch of road east of Pine Forest rd is such a hot bed for accidents? It’s all straight aways and some gentle up and downs, but I’ve seen tons of accidents. Hopefully expanding to 6 lanes to the Alabama border helps out.
looks like an escort truck for wide loads from the yellow banner.
You can always count on Northescambia to report news that matters. Thank you Mr. Reynolds.
