One Killed In Early Morning Fiery Century Crash
February 22, 2014
One person died in a fiery single vehicle accident early Saturday morning.
The burning vehicle was discoveredĀ by a passing Escambia County Sheriff’s deputy about 3:55 a.m. on Fannie Road just northeast of Campbell Road, across from the Happy Valley Holiness Church.
After the Century Station of Escambia Fire Rescue extinguished the blaze, the victim was discovered in the driver’s seat area of the vehicle.
The Florida Highway Patrol has identified the vehicle as unknown year model Toyota sedan
The driver was apparently headed east on Fannie Road when they failed to negotiate a curve, ran off the roadway, down an embankment and struck several trees on the shore of a gravel lake. A post-crash fire completely gutted the vehicle
The Florida Highway Patrol was unable to identify the driver of theĀ vehicle at the scene. Further details have not yet been released as the FHP continues their investigation.

>>>> the tag would just tell them who the car belonged to and they can start looking for the driver.
In some states, including Alabama, the tag is not embossed. When the paint burns away, there is no way to determine the tag number.
The article states they couldn’t identify the driver – the tag would just tell them who the car belonged to and they can start looking for the driver.
Praying for family.
Tags and VIN plates are made from aluminum. They melt off the car in a fire. Police will have to get the hidden VIN stamped in the frame rails.
The letters on a license plate in Florida are raised. Praying for the family.
Lord please hold the family tight in your arms. AMEN
The wreack happend close to my house praying for the family
Truly awful for the family. I hope the Lord can comfort them during this.
Prayers going out to the family.
This is why I don’t agree with license plates for cars to be flat. When they are raised letters if a crash causes a fire such as this accident then law enforcement can still read the tag.
It was close to my house Someone called me this morning told me about it they just saw cop cars later on I saw the car on the wreacker sad they did not make it
How awful. Who ever the victim is my heart goes out to the family.
