65-Year Man Killed After Trying To Cross Davis Highway
February 27, 2021
A 65-year old Escambia County Man was killed Friday night when he attempted to walk across North Davis Highway.
It happened about 7 p.m. as a 40-year old Pensacola man was traveling southbound near Ladd Drive when his SUV struck the pedestrian. The pedestrian was transported to Sacred Heart hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.
The Florida Highway Patrol no longer releases the names of traffic crash victims.

Prayers for the man killed, and family. Prayers for the driver¡ its sucks on both sides.
Now on to the reason why this man lost his life……..cause he was walking. I have rode bicycles from one end of this county to the other, as well as walked more times then I can count. With that being said this is the hardest freaking place to get around because we all rushing, not paying attention, preoccupied, whatever the case may be. Pensacola and the north end too, is not conducive to walkers at all, trying to make it easier in ensley, kind of.
But for some reason you either get almost ran down or just ignored all together (with blaring blinking bright lights ) and go unseen till right before they almost hit you off the roadway its somehow all your fault. Bicycling around here people are nicer to you then when your walking but traffic is brutal. Frogger don’t have anything on Pensacola. Dare anybody just to walk the block of ensley ( walmrt, teen challenge, habor freight,, to cvs or tractor supply..with the new side walks, watch how many people actually jump those curbs . And please don’t stop traffic or in intersections to let walkers go, its super sweet, but after bout the 3 car to do that, cant take it anymore, cause u can’t just walk if they stop, u have to hussle and that will wear ya out quick like. Yall just quit being selfish and look out for walkers and cyclists.
Well, Bill I’ve been driving since I was 15 so that is a little over 45 years. I have only received one ticket in my life it was for a expired inspection sticker if you remember those. So you think it’s a good idea to take my rights away because you think the roads in Pensacola are to dangerous. I’m sure there are plenty of other drivers that have spotless driving records also. So let’s just punish everyone for the mistakes of a few. Sounds a little socialist to me. But that seems the way this country is headed. I learned a long time ago you don’t walk out in front of a moving vehicle. Have a nice weekend and stay safe.
Bill you must be walking cause you dont have a drivers license or car or both. If u cant walk across the streets safely, STAY AT HOME
To the person complaining about him being taken to Sacred Heart Hospital. They take the patients to the hospital that has a trauma center which in his case was SHH.
Good thing Bill is not in charge if anything in this town or else wed be stuck in the stone age.
If it happened at Ladd Dr and Davis Hwy why was he not transport it to West Florida Hospital and stabilized then transport Sacred Heart Hospital.
Trying to get from A to B on foot in this town is ridiculous. If it were up to me I’d ban the private automobile until we figure out how to make it reasonably safe for pedestrians and cyclists.
