June 17, 2024
An 82-year-old Alabama woman was killed in a crash after pulling into the path of a truck Monday afternoon in northern Santa Rosa County.
The Florida Highway Patrol said the woman from Castleberry, Alabama, was exiting the parking lot of the Sanhandle Lotto store on Highway 87 just south of the Florida-Alabama state line, about eight miles northeast of Jay. Troopers said she failed to see a tractor-trailer and pulled out in front of it. The truck struck the left side of man’s car, sending it spinning off the roadway.
The 61-year-old truck driver was not injured.

Not only prayers for the man who passed away but we all need to pray for the truck driver also. They have a tough job driving all the time. I could feel the pain in his heart too Knowing he will have to get back behind the wheel to feed his family and pay bills. So Dear Lord I ask that you keep your hand on both these men and give them your forever love, and wisdom. And also the first responders that had to deal with this accident and live daily with the thoughts of it in there minds and hearts. God bless you all. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
My bad. I understand it was a lady that was killed. I apologize sincerely.
I was heading to Milton Florida from Brewton, Al and got caught up on the detour going to my doctor’s office and on the way back to Brewton. I never saw the actual wreck site – Thank the Lord – but it had the traffic tied up.
i had a bad feeling about whatever it was I could not see. There is a community center on the left side close to there that looks like a school and yes, I know what we call “The Lotto Store”. It’s a bad spot. There is a curve about 100 yards north of the Lotto store. It’s 2 lanes and Ms. Burgess said – nothing there one secone – 18 wheeler there the next.
I felt bad at the time we were directed around and now I feel worse. I’m 72 years old I’m not the driver I use to be – sight, response time, etc. Ya’ll keep the man’s family in your prayers. you don’t have to know him to pray.
I live right on the state line right before the store our drive and that drive at the store are the worst places to enter 87, one second you look and nobody is there, you pull out and a vehicle is locking up breaks to keep from hitting you. I have no idea what would help the situation but my heart breaks for this man’s family
