Two Dead In Crash After Fleeing From Pensacola Police
January 8, 2025
Two people were killed in a traffic crash after fleeing from Pensacola Police early Wednesday morning.
A Pensacola Police officer attempted to make a traffic stop on a vehicle near Pace Boulevard and Garden Street, PPD spokesperson Mike Wood said following the 12:23 a.m. incident.
“The vehicle immediately fled from the officer at a high rate of speed and crashed into a pole at Pace and Romana.,” he said. “One of the occupants of the vehicle died at the scene.” The second vehicle occupant was transported to a hospital and died a short time later.
The officer was not involved in the crash, Wood said.
“The officer observed the vehicle turning from a side street onto Pace. The driver saw the officer and began to accelerate at a high rate of speed. The officer made a U turn on Pace in an attempt to pace the speed of the car and to catch up to it. The vehicle crashed before the officer had a chance to initiate a traffic stop,” Wood said.

I ride/drive late night often because the traffic is minimal, I have them turn around on me all the time. I know they’re just checking me out and running my tag with their tag reader. I just keep on rolling and usually just break off after a few minutes. I’ll bet the cold roads caused him to lose traction too. That and his right foot.
How stupid. You lost your life for what reason? Praying for your family and friends that God can guide you to understand why this had to happen.
