Vehicle Overturns Multiple Times Into Tate High School Parking Lot

February 13, 2022

A vehicle flipped multiple times into a parking lot at Tate High School Sunday morning.

The adult male was apparently westbound on Tate School Road when he failed to turn onto Tate Road and crashed through a fence.

The driver was transported to an area hospital by Escambia County EMS with injuries not considered to be life threatening.

Officials said he was not a student at the school. However, there were students on campus shortly after the incident for scheduled ACT testing.

The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating.

    I surprised his little inline v4 could even dent a tree, they barely go over 40mph

    Everyone wants to know what is going to be done by the county. I don’t see it as a county problem. I look at it as a personal problem. The speeds on every road in this county are violated daily by a vast majority of the citizens of this area. So the real question is what can I do about this issue. Let’s stop asking government to control our actions and take responsibility on for ourselves.

    This is no laughing matter or need for jokes. This is a serious issue that need to solve and I know several accidents have happening at that intersection. Something need to be done.

    Bruce would’ve been really mad about having that
    gate and fence area messed up like that. Don Brunson
    would have the FBI investigating that “accident”! Ha!

    I live on Tate Rd and the speeding is out of control. We have been hit pulling out of our driveway and my Mom was hit at this same intersection by a student rushing to school. There needs to be a 4 way stop there or a light when school is starting and letting out!

    I know they’ve been trying to reach about his extended car warranty but that’s a bit extreme.

    Saw this accident on my way to church this morning, so thankful the young man was transported and will survive. With the damage I saw, it was a wonder that he made it. God was watching over him.

    Did he report to the office? You know all visitors must report to the office.
