Dump Truck Left Hanging Over Escambia Bay Bridge After Tire Blowout

March 13, 2026

A blown tire sent a dump truck partially off the I-10 Escambia Bay Bridge on Friday morning, leaving part of the truck hanging over the bay.

The crash happened around 7:10 a.m. on I-10 eastbound. The Florida Highway Patrol said the “dump truck experienced a tire rupture and lost control.” It overturned and struck the wall of the bridge.

The driver, a 44-year-old man from Pensacola, was able to safely exit the vehicle. He suffered serious but non-life threatening injuries. He was transported to an area hospital.

    Oh my goodness. I bet that scared him plenty. Just very glad he didn’t go on over. Praying for a full recovery of his injuries.

    So glad the driver is okay. That must have been really scary.
