A tragic wreck early Christmas morning claimed three lives and critically injured two others in Escambia County, according to troopers.

I love you guys so much you were the best cousins
My prayers are there for everyone involved. I’ve read through these comments and it’s so nice to see the comforts and prayers given.
My brother lord
Condolences to the families!!
If the right side wheels of your car goes off of the edge of the road and you try to get back on the road it can cause an over correct situation and actually shoot you across the road into oncoming traffic.
If this is what happened nobody did anything purposely wrong it was just a bad situation.
If this happens to anyone stay calm, slow down to a stop and then pull back onto the road.
Prayers to all families involved.
This hurts!!
