Three Injured In High Speed Jacks Branch Road Pickup Truck Rollover
June 17, 2022
Three people were injured in a high speed single vehicle rollover crash Thursday in Cantonment.
The 39-year old driver of a Toyota Tacoma was traveling south on Jacks Branch Road approaching Old Bridge Road at a high rate of speed, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. He was unable to maintain control in a curve, causing the vehicle to leave the roadway. The pickup continued to travel south on the shoulder of the road, colliding with a mailbox and a concrete culvert.
The pickup went airborne and landed in the roadway. It began to rotate and rolled for about 350 feet, according to troopers. The driver was ejected.
The driver was airlifted to Sacred Heart Hospital by Escambia County EMS. A 14-year old female and a 16-year old male passenger were taken by family to the Sacred Heart Pediatric Emergency Room.
A dog that was in the back of the pickup did not survive.
The Florida Highway Patrol is still investigating the crash.

Shame on that father !!¡ you should never put your children in that position!¡! Thank God those kids still have there life !!!!
I lived on jacks branch road for years the traffic was horrible constant garbage and broken glass in my driveway in the ditch crazy drivers ( drunks ) going to and from the river. I sold out nearly gave my beautiful brick home away just to get away from there
you couldn’t give me a million dollars and a free home to live in that area and I thought moving out more in the country would be better +? man was I wrong ? but now it’s 100 times worse anywhere in Florida period.
And did someone say “not with a pet onboard?” … i just had to make sure?
I think strangers to the situation dont know the details …. i think that people like to badmouth at a victims expense. I dont think if said individual was in front of you that you thumbs would say the same thing your mouth would say … i happen to know this individual…. hes a good man …. he raised those kids by himself with no help …. maintain a steady career and provided everything for his family via HIMSELF….. Everyone makes bad choices… ur a liar if you say u haven’t. I just think people need to insert themselves i to someone elses shoes before they start judgy judgy …. and if you dont know “SAID” SHOES …. just keep it closed … nobody cares anyway….
Thanks,
Daniel
Oohmygawd BaeBae!! Jesus Name I Pray!! ThankYou GODD YOU & KIDS Are ALIVE!!!!
Praying for YAl!!
That was my father and siblings in that accident my sister called me at 11 my mom’s getting married today so i was in a hurry and he us currently in the hospital
Idiot…You should be old enough to not speed like that..especially with young people and a pet on board..
I too love on jacks branch and just this morning saw a truck try and pass three cars (where you should not pass) and literally almost got into a head on with a driver from the opposite direction.. the speed limit is 45. People live on this road, kids wait for buses. If you wanna drive like like take it to a race track. I swear I’m gonna start sitting out on our porch and start rolling big balls into the road maybe that will make people slow the hell down!
I live on jacks branch about a mile from this accident, people fly up and down jacks branch all the time like it’s a drag strip. This roads dangerous even for us folks living here.
Hopefully everyone is going to be ok and will be a beacon of light into why you wear seatbelts and drive safely from now on.
Its terrible when something like this is 100% preventable and the 39 year old should have known better. If it was just him,,,,,,,,,, But he was carrying 4 young people and a pet.
I was in a bad wreck a long time ago. Riding passenger in the back when the driver was not paying attention and wrecked into an embankment on side of road. We all had seatbelts on but I still needed to be lifeflighted out. I preach seatbelts as they saved us all that day.
Sorry for your loss of the pet if you happen to read this.
