Side of Car Peeled Away In Highway 29 Collision; One Injured
March 10, 2026
One person was injured in a Monday morning Highway 29 crash that peeled away the side of the car.
The driver of a Pontiac Grand Am was northbound on Highway 29 north of Highway 164 when the vehicle struck the rear corner of an ECUA delivery truck that had reportedly stalled and was pulling off the roadway.
The collision peeled the side of the car away, including the passenger door. The passenger was transported by Escambia County EMS to Jay Hospital with injuries that were not considered serious. The driver of the ECUA truck was not injured.
The McDavid Station of Escambia County Fire Rescue, and the Florida Highway Patrol investigated the crash.

Hopefully the passenger will find a better driver next trip !
Consider the facts before making judgment. Innocent until proven guilty.
Glad you and your son are safe, and sorry about your car and the weird comments. Folks can be pretty judgey on here
take care!
Susie,
Contrary to what you stated, no ma’am I was NOT speeding, no ma’am I was NOT distracted thank you very much!. But as you can see Florida Highway Patrol investigated it, and he stated it was NOT my fault. That truck had his tail end in the highway to begin with not to mention that I was coming up the hill so what chance did I have to move over when I have cars all around me?
I just Thank our Good and Gracious Lord my son and I wasn’t hurt anymore than we are!
Well, that old Grand Am lived a long life I guess.
Speeding and distracted driving are a dangerous combination!
Escambia County needs a specific driver course for these people who speed, follow too closely, text, make phone calls, put on make up, or whatever they are doing at the time of these collisions. I avoid highways, chosing the back roads because there is NO TELLING when morons are driving.
That could take two rolls of color match gorilla tape .
