Update: Man Critical, Boy Serious After Van Rear-Ends Dump Truck On Highway 29
June 15, 2023
Two people were seriously injured in a crash between a passenger van and a dump truck Thursday on Highway 29.
The Florida Highway Patrol said the driver of the northbound van collided with the rear of the dump truck as it was slowing to make a U-turn across the median near a produce stand on Highway 29 just south of Power Boulevard and the Central Commerce Park.
The 29-year old man from Fort Worth, Texas, was extricated from the van and airlifted to a Pensacola hospital in critical condition. His 11-year old male passenger was transported by Escambia County EMS in serious condition. The dump truck driver, a 50-year old woman from Milton, was not injured.
Northbound traffic on Highway 29 was at a complete standstill for over two hours due to the crash.
Escambia County Fire Rescue and the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office also responded.

We saw this on our way to an appointment…..had just happened!!!!!
I was stuck in traffic 2 hours due to this awful accident, I’m still praying for the occupant that was airlifted, and the teen involved.
WOW!!! Praying for the two that were hurt.
I unfortunately saw this and it was bad. I can’t believe that the occupants lived. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers, especially the little one.
