FHP: Log Truck Driver, 83, Failed To Yield Causing Serious Injury Rollover Crash
November 24, 2025
The Florida Highway Patrol said an 83-year-old log truck driver failed to yield at a stop sign, causing a serious roll-over crash Monday morning in the Quintette Community.
The crash happened about 8 a.m. on Highway 95A at East Quintette Road when the log truck driver made a left turn entering the roadway in front of an SUV driven by a 53-year-old Pensacola woman. The truck came to a controlled stop on the shoulder of the roadway, while the SUV came to a stop upside down in the southbound lane of Highway 95A.

An 83 year old shouldn’t be allowed to commercially operate a rickshaw much less a logging truck. If you are 83 you can drive your little car, and we will all try to avoid being hit by you due to your diminishing eyesight; and we will languish behind you doing 20 in a 45, but driving commercially should not be allowed. That’s way too many driving hours, and way too much mass poundage for an octogenarian.
If you do not obey a stop sign, why would you bother to obey a traffic light?
I am of age to collect Social Security, but I still work because I enjoy what I do… not because I have to work!
Sad that a 83 yr old is still having to work praying for the person injured.
83 years old and still working. What a scam Social Security is. If we had better government he could be enjoying his retirement.
I have to say it there has been more log truck incident this past year than last year. These drivers need to slow down and obey the traffic laws. Quinette Rd has speed limits from 35 to 55 mph. I have been passed by log trucks on this road while driving the speed limit. I understand that log trucks are vital to our economy and are needed. That said my life matters as much as yours doe. Just because you get paid by the load doesn’t mean you can ignore the laws. All our families depend on our income to survive.
Is only a matter of time at this location. When is that traffic light going to be installed…
