Driver Trapped After Wreck

March 25, 2015

A Pensacola man was injured single vehicle crash about 6:15 p.m. Tuesday on I-10 eastbound a few miles inside the Florida line.

The Florida Highway Patrol said 33-year old Chad Benson apparently lost control of his 1996 Ford Explorer, ran off the roadway, and the vehicle overturned. Benson was trapped, requiring an extensive extrication by firefighters from the Beulah, Bellview and Ensley stations of Escambia Fire Rescue.

Benson was transported to an area hospital with injuries that were not considered life threatening.

    If the engine still runs, he’ll have a cool convertible.
