Highway 29 Driver Trapped After Crashing Into Railroad Crossing Signal Pole
January 22, 2020
One person was injured in a crash that tied up traffic on Highway 29 in Cantonment Tuesday night.
The driver of a Chevrolet Camaro Z28 lost control on Highway 29 just south of Muscogee Road and crashed into a railroad crossing signal pole on the southbound side of the roadway near the Raceway gas station. The driver was trapped in the vehicle until extricated by firefighters using the Jaws of Life.
The driver was transported by Escambia County EMS to an area hospital for treatment. Their name has not been released as the Florida Highway Patrol investigates.
There was no train involved in the 6 p. m. wreck.

the person driving should maybe stick to riding a bike. Seems too much power for that individual is what caused this accident, just saying. How in the heck do you run into a Train traffic signal unless you are not paying attention something like TEXTING / Drinking and Driving, etc. Some people just can’t handle a vehicle with so much power
Obvious factor: SPEED
Serious accident & hope the driver recovers OK. Wondering if the sign for the gas station “Raceway” influenced the driver to speed up?
At that location is a traffic light, so speed could not have been a factor. Are vehicles now made out of tin?
Wow prayers for all involved
WOW! Praying for this person. Hope they aren’t too hurt.
