One Seriously Injured When Dirt Bike, Pickup Collide In Cantonment
May 26, 2025
The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating a crash involving a dirt bike and a pickup truck Sunday night in Cantonment.
It happened about 7:30 p.m. at Booker Street and Booker Avenue.
FHP said the pickup truck, driven by a 26-year-old Pensacola woman, had begun to make a left turn onto Booker Avenue when the dirt bike began to pass the truck. The front of the bike collided with the left side of the pickup truck.
The 20-year-old male driver of the dirt bike was airlifted to a local trauma center with serious injuries. The occupants of the truck were not injured.

Reading these comments, makes me wonder how many people turn left into their drives not realizing the car behind them can come around legally.
PTHS62-
I believe Florida State Statute 316.122 is the statute in question.
@PTHS62
YOU MUST HAVE MISSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS ON HERE OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS ON PEOPLE TURNING LEFT AND CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WITH ONE COMING AROUND. CRAZY AS IT IS, JJ IS RIGHT
They come up and down my street on occasion; like something out of Mad Max. they have a trail off of Welline Road, they cut through to Muscogee Road.
Moreover, late night pedestrians and those on bicycles, dark clothing is a poor choice.
According to law, 2 wrongs dont make a right. If a driver hits an ATV or dirt bike he is at fault if he broke the law. Turning left in front of dirt bike was illegal. Attorneys will have a field day with this one. Pickup driver will be charged.
Jo if you’re going to refer to a Florida statue you should tell the statue number, paragraph and subparagraph otherwise you are totally wrong saying a vehicle passing a turning vehicle from the rear has the right of way. Only oncoming traffic in the opposing lane had the right of way over the turning vehicle. Prove me wrong with the Florida statues
Can dirt bikes be street legal?
Never seen one with a tag on it.
Just saying
JJ… only if the “dirt bike” was street legal otherwise it wasn’t even supposed to be on the road making it the dirt biker’s fault.
Jj false dirt bike don’t belong on the public road ways
As per Florida law, pickup at fault.
Traffic behind you has the right of way if you are turning in an unmarked yellow line .
