Woman Killed In I-10 Crash; Two Children Injured
February 2, 2015
A Milton woman was killed and two children injured in a single vehicle crash on I-10 Sunday afternoon.
The Florida Highway Patrol said 44-year old Wendy Fisk of Milton was westbound in the outside line of I-10 near the 9th Avenue overpass when she drifted off the roadway, over-steered to the left and then the right. Her 2008 Nissan Titan then rotated, traveled across the paved shoulder and struck a guardrail. The vehicle then traveled through the guardrail and overturned off the roadway.
Fisk was pronounced deceased at the scene by Escambia County EMS. Passenger Brenden Fisk, 6, was critically injured, and passenger Johnathon Fisk, 6, received minor injuries. Both children were transported by ambulance to Sacred Heart Hospital.

FHP: What’s Your Game Plan For Super Bowl Sunday?
February 1, 2015
The Super Bowl is America’s most watched national sporting event. Today, many Super Bowl parties will feature pizza, wings, and yes…alcohol. That’s why the Florida Highway Patrol is urging football fans to choose sides before the game: are you drinking OR driving?
“Impaired driving is completely preventable,” said Colonel David Brierton, director of the Florida Highway Patrol. “All it takes is a little planning ahead. We want fans to remember that it is a choice. Drink or drive—but, never do both.”
FHP’s game plan for a safe Sunday:
- Make transportation arrangements before you begin drinking.
- Designate a sober driver, call a taxi, or use public transportation to get home safely.
- Even one drink increases the risk of a crash while driving. Do not let anyone who has been drinking get behind the wheel.
- If you see an impaired driver on the road, call *FHP (*347).
Play a key role on Super Bowl Sunday—if you aren’t going to drink, volunteer to be a designated driver, you may just keep someone from becoming a tragic game day statistic, according to the FHP.
