Is there going to be any update on this story? As me and my husband were the ones who stopped and my husband spoke to the 911 operator for the driver of the car, I’d like to know how everyone is doing. Especially the driver of the truck.

I have never seen such negative comments on something as serious as this.. Not one time did I read of anyone asking how the people are… This world is going down fast and we all need to wake up in smell coffee, We all need to start looking for the good in things and quit judging before we know the whole story and the facts…SMH

Maybe it was three fold
1 ran out of alcohol
2 on the phone looking for more
3 Distracted from thinking there was a light here

Doesn’t really matter huh. We hope everyone will be okay and understand that no matter what, there will always be wrecks large and small.

Why is it when something happens people scream traffic light needs to be there ? Traffic lights are fine but it does not solve the problem that everybody is in such a rush to get somewhere. It is so sad that al these people are getting hurt and killed .
I drive these same roads everyday. I have seen more then my fair share of stupid driving on hwy29 We all have seen it and we all have made some stupid driving choice. But a red light would not stop that at all. Please tell me how much time you really save by rushing and pulling out when you don’t have a clear view . NONE . How much time have you saved by killing yourself or someone else or by being in the hospital. NONE . And tell me how you sleep knowing that your bad choice has caused so much damage. Some times accidents are blameless but 99% of the time someone is at fault and it is something that could have been changed if they would have just used their head. And when the accidents don’t stop and there is a traffic light at every corner what will people blame things on then ? Too many lights ?

Just everybody slow down stop rushing other drivers on the road. Make sure we get where we need to go as safely as possible.Instead of defensive driving how about respectful driving. Because you never know when the next time it could be you or worse yet someone you love.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all the victims of all the recent accidents. . ANd everybody drive safely

I agree with Bev. Stop the accustions. It’s disheartening to read the majority of comments on any given story such as this. It seems as if many people simply can’t refrain from posting self righteous and judgemental ramblings which are undoubtedly hurtful to others. My thoughts are those involved in this accident and their families, regardless of fault or contributing factors.

Any update on their condition?

All due respect, please shut the accusations up. I was first on scene, went to the firestatiin for help, but the trucks were gone. It was a VERY disturbing scene that I will never be able to shake. I had my five year old son in the car and by the time I got back, men were stopping. I had to get him away… he saw too much.

Please just pray for the victims and their families.

I have not seen anything in the report that William put out that cell phones were in use or that the lack of a traffic light caused this accident! Until it is released that one or the other caused this people shouldn’t just write or say it was so. Me, I am just glad the emergency response people were there to help and or save lives.
I hope all are ok and will be out and about soon. Thank you William for the facts you gave and not the speculation that everyone seems to have!!!

I’m tellin ya, a traffic light at every intersection in Escambia Co. Fl would solve this. There would never be any more wrecks. Kinda like you can drink yourself sober!

Hope everyone is ok from this accident.

No we do not need a light every 100 yards. Thats over kill. Yes, we desperately need a light at 97 and 29. We have several minor accidents there every week and a few major ones every month. And when Molino park or Ernest Ward let out its a nightmare.

People r going to text and drive. Its stupid but nothing will stop it because “you cant fix stupid” But before texting they were shaving and putting on make up. I dont know the answer. Stricter laws? Higher fines? More police? Better driver education? Who knows.
