Two Injured In Crash Involving Van, ECUA Truck In Cantonment
February 25, 2025
Two people were injured in a Tuesday afternoon crash involving a van and a sanitation truck in Cantonment.
The crash happened on South Highway 97 near Sawyers Ridge Road about 1 p.m.
A van operated by a mobile pet grooming business overturned after the collision with an Emerald Coast Utilities Authority truck. The van came to rest on its side on Highway 97, while the ECUA driver moved the truck to Sawyers Ridge Road.
Two occupants of the van, an adult female and a juvenile, were transported by Escambia County EMS to an area hospital with injuries that were not considered severe.
The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating and has not yet released the cause of the crash.

Prayers for the health and safety of all involved. It looks like the van may have passed on the left and the ECUA vehicle may have been turning left or when the van passed and re-entered the driving lane, they clipped the corner of the Sanitation truck. Either way, it’s saddens me to see this occur. As a safety reminder, sanitation trucks should be treated the same as emergency vehicles per Florida laws.
Oh my goodness. I didn’t read there was a pet in the van, so I’m assuming there wasn’t. Which is a good thing. Praying for the two ladies for a full and fast recovery.
