Four Injured, Two Critically, In After Driver Runs Red Light At Highway 29 And Molino Road
December 12, 2025
Four people were injured, two critically, in a two-vehicle crash Friday afternoon at the intersection of Highway 29 and Molino Road.
The Florida Highway Patrol said an 86-year-old Birmingham man ran a red light as his red Lexus SUV was traveling south on Highway 29. At the same time, a white Chevrolet SUV driven by a 39-year-old Molino woman was northbound and turning onto Molino Road.
The Birmingham man and his 73-year old female passenger, also from Birmingham, were critically injured and were airlifted as “trauma alerts” to a Pensacola hospital by two medical helicopters. The Molino woman in the white SUV and her 40-year old male passenger, also from Molino, were transported to the hospital by ambulance.
Both Highway 29 and Molino Road were completely shut down by the crash and investigation.

I know the family who was in the red Lexus, they live quite close to us in Birmingham. I feel absolutely horrible for them, they’re always the sweetest people to talk to. They’ve seen me grow as a person over the longest time, and I absolutely hate it for them, our entire family will be praying hard for them.
When I’m stopped at a red light, I always look to my left to make sure no one is trying to run the light before I go. Just a few seconds can save a lot of heartache.
Only 3 traffic light colors in Escambia County. Green, Yellow and Rosy Yellow.
@jml WRONG, I lived right in that vicinity my entire life and there were WAY more accidents at THAT intersection before the light. It didn’t solve much at the 29/97 intersection, because the engineering of that spot is poor.
So many people run red lights each and every day. When my light turns green, I count to five and usually, almost always, a couple or more people run the red light. I just don’t understand why they will not stop for the light. Isn’t their lives worth more than a couple of minutes to get ahead? Mine certainly is, but I pray that the people behind me will stop also. I just simply don’t understand. I gather people don’t appreciate their lives or other innocent people.
Please stop at red lights. Praying for everyone.
I disagree. I live right here. Not many accidents at that intersection
I took my disabled neighbor to the corner drug store at that location around 1:00-1:15 today…. Guess I was pretty lucky at the timing
Pray for all to recover. Life can be shorter if you dont watch traffic
Prayers for all involved.
I was coming up to that light on molino rd. Right after it happened. Saw the front of the white car explode and roll to a stop in the middle of the intersection. It was bad. Prayer for those involved. Seems like more accidents since light was put in.
