My dad worked with Mrs. Donna. Very sad.
The person driving this vehicle was allegedly arrested less than 3 weeks ago for reckless driving causing a considerable amount of property damage. Escambia County court records. Prayers and condolences to Donna’s family and friends. She was a great person deeply loved by many, many people.
He was only 30 and although it’s possible it was from a medical issue would he not have to have been going quite fast to end up that far into the house? It is a residential neighborhood and I doubt the speed limit was high enough for that kind of force!
My niece had her brakes go out on her and she hit/entered a house. Everyone was ok but it just goes to show that an accident isn’t always what people think. God bless all involved and those who remain to to make sense of such a death.
We don’t know the full story. The driver could have had a heart attack or stroke, which caused him to run into the house. Please don’t jump to conclusion until all the facts have been released. It is a tragedy for sure, for all involved.
There’s no doubt speed was one of the factors.. It’s sad that you’re not even safe in your own home..
How sad. I wonder if the cause of death would be “blunt force trauma due to traffic accident” even though she was at home?That’s weird.
