Pickup, School Bus Collide Near McDavid
February 28, 2022
There were no serious injuries in a crash involving a school bus and pickup truck Monday morning near McDavid.
There were no students on the Escambia County school bus at the time of the 9:10 a.m. crash on Highway 164 about 1.3 miles east of North Pine Barren Road.
The Florida Highway Patrol said a 75-year old Atmore man attempted to pass the bus, before his vehicle collided with the lug nuts on a wheel of the bus. The pickup truck then overturned into a wooded area. The pickup truck came to rest on its side, and the driver was able to climb out of the vehicle.
Both drivers refused transport by Escambia County EMS. Escambia County Fire Rescue also responded.
The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating.

This is a dangerous road, I drive a pickup truck, when I see a bus or county truck coming I ho.ld my breath, till they get by,our mirrors almost touch we both have to get off the road to pass,why don’t some of the county commissioners just get on a bus and ride this road once in a while .99 was .like this until a few people stood up and made noise,people letts make noise for this,to get done.
@BIG JOHN, Don’t get your hopes up, unless someone connected to county or state leadership is seriously injured or killed, NOTHING will be done!
Another case of “it’s the road” strikes again
Hey Mister, my mom is 83 and she drives better than that! At least you wouldn’t ever see her passing a school bus on a small winding road…or any road, for that matter. Why be in a hurry at 75 anyway? Thank the good Lord you’re living and SLOW DOWN!
First of all this little winding road, no one should pass anyone. Next, thank you to the bus driver for keeping control of the bus, GOOD JOB! Praise the Lord the bus driver wasn’t hurt and no kids. If you are in that big of a hurry leave earlier. Thanks to the bus driver and the man who stopped to assist until first responders arrived. Hwy 164 is dangerous. Prayers for the man driving the truck, just slow down
WELL I KMEW SOME DAY THAT THIS WOULD HAPPEN , THE ROAD IS NOT IWIDE FOR TWO CARS OR A BUS AND A TRUCK TO PASS. MAYBE SOME DAY WHEN SOMEONE GET KILL THEY WILL WIDEN THE ROAD FROM MC DAVID TO HWY 97
Glad everyone was all right. But you have to think what could have been if the bus were full of students and it was the one doing the flipping.
Im glad he is okay
