Driver Swerves To Avoid Skeleton On Highway 29, Crashes Into Wooded Area
October 4, 2024
A driver on Highway 29 in Cantonment swerved to avoid a skeleton on Highway 29 and crashed into a wooded area Friday morning.
The woman was southbound on Highway 29 near Success Drive just before 7 a.m. when she swerved to miss another vehicle that had swerved to avoid an object that fell out of the back of a truck. She lost control on the wet roadway, crossed over both northbound lanes and ran into nearby woods. She was transported by Escambia County EMS to Sacred Heart Hospital with non-life threatening injuries, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The object drivers avoided turned out to be part of a skeleton — the leg bones no longer connected to the rest of the 12-foot Halloween yard decoration.
We are told that the driver of the truck stopped to render assistance.
The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating.

At least the truck driver carrying the skeleton didn’t “fibula” about what happened. Although this is a little “humerus”, I hope everyone is ok.
This accident isn’t funny but it will be sure to make more news Can’t you just see the insurance adjuster thinking he/she has been punked when reading this report?.
Dont haul if you dont know how to tie your stuff down properly !!!!
Prayers to lady ..
Bitsy, she may be the new Morgan and Morgan commercial.
Bitsy, it’s not Geico it’s Allstate. You’re thinking of “Mayhem.” And yes this would be a great commercial for them!
That sucks on several levels.
Glad she’s OK, sorry about the car. Hope she has good insurance. She’s now gonna be a Halloween GIECO commercial.
Those skeletons are crazy expensive. I’ve been looking for a good one for a few years. I bet the truck driver tied that puppy down tight!
Looks like the feet tried to go for a walk and left the rest of Dem Bones……
Watch out for the skeletons coming out from hiding!
I was traveling on I65 north yesterday and saw an SUV with a kayak strapped to the top with only 1 strap across the middle. The kayak was completely perpendicular to the SUV and appeared as if it was about to come loose. Nevermind it extended about 2 feet out from each side of the SUV. Some people need a book, “Tying Down Stuff for Dummies.”
If the other’s cared enough to stop!!
So glad you are alright, H.
