May 28, 2026
Four people were killed in three seperate Escambia County traffic crashes in less than 24 hours.
Barrancas Avenue Double Fatal
A single-vehicle crash on Barrancas Avenue claimed two lives at approximately 6:10 a.m. Wednesday.
The Florida Highway Patrol said a beige Honda Accord was traveling east when it failed to maintain a single lane while traveling around a curve and left the roadway.
“The vehicle then struck a concrete median divider on Barrancas Avenue, became airborne, and spun across the right-turn lane before striking a tree on the east side of the roadway,” trooperd said. The driver, a 49-year-old Pensacola man, and his passenger, a 26-year-old Pensacola man, were both pronounced deceased at the scene.
The investigation is continuing.
W Street Bicyclist Fatal Hit-and-Run
A fatal hit-and-run crash occurred near the intersection of W Street and West Mallory Street between 2:30 a.m. and 4:30 a.m. FHP said the crash involved an unknown vehicle and a 25-year-old male bicyclist who was later pronounced deceased at Baptist Hospital.
Troopers said the suspect vehicle fled the scene in an unknown direction after hitting the bicyclist.
Anyone with information is asked to contact FHP Trooper Berry at tylerberry@flhsmv.gov or Corporal Whipple at mattwhipple@flhsmv.gov, or call FHP at (850) 484-5000.
W Street Bicyclist Fatal
At approximately 11:54 p.m. Tuesday, the 45-year-old male driver of an SUV struck and killed a 42-year-old male bicyclist on W Street near Lenox Parkway.

I agree there need to be bike paths everywhere but how about putting them away from the road except for when crossing intersections.? I mean isn’t it kind of asking for problems when you put a bike lane almost in the middle of a busy highway? Not to mention most of these bicycle accidents happen at night and most of them is because of low light or because the bicyclist is not wearing high vis clothing when the law sees them wearing all black in the middle of the night riding down the road they should issue some sort of citation. Some of these accidents could be avoided by just wearing high vis clothing.
Needs to bike paths everywhere.
