UPDATE: FHP Says Century Woman Failed To Yield In Saturday Crash That Injured Five
January 5, 2026
UPDATE: The Florida Highway Patrol said Monday that a 63-year-old Century woman failed to yield in a Saturday crash that injured five people on Highway 29 south of Century.
The crash occurred at about 12:50 p.m. at the intersection of Highway 29 and Bluff Springs Road and involved a GMC Terrain Denali and a Ford Expedition.
FHP said the Century woman was driving the GMC east on Bluff Springs Road when she attempted to cross all four lanes of Highway 29 but failed to yield to the approaching Ford.
Three of the five people involved were transported to area hospitals by Newman’s Ambulance with minor injuries.
The Century and McDavid stations of Escambia County Fire Rescue also responded, along with the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.
The crash temporarily closed the Highway 29 northbound lanes and later reduced northbound traffic to a single lane around the crash.

People need to PAY ATTENTION!!!
Lights dont help, Pensaca has issued thousands,yes thousands of camera redlight citations.
@Felicia White, traffic light won’t help. Just look at 29 and 97 by the Tom Thumb. There is a traffic light at that intersection, but vehicle crashes continue to occur. Driver error cannot be corrected by a traffic light.
My dad (Leroy White) had tried so hard years ago to get a traffic light at that intersection. All they would did was reduce the speed limit.
I drove by this, heading South on 29 right after it happened. Lots of firetrucks police and so forth. It didn’t look good. I prayed for anyone and everyone that was involved. Glad to read no one was killed. Please don’t blame the roads. It’s driver error.
