Escambia County Work Release Inmate Struck By Vehicle
May 30, 2025
An Escambia County work release inmate was struck by a vehicle Friday afternoon in Cantonment.
It happened about 2:45 p.m. on Muscogee Road at Country Road 97.
“An Escambia County inmate was struck by a vehicle while on work release detail. The inmate is being transported by EMS for further evaluation,” Andie Gibson, Escambia County public information officer, said after the incident.
The driver of a Chevrolet Silverado apparently struck the inmate as Escambia County crews were working in the area. Farm Hill Utilities was also working in the area to repair a water main break, but it was not immediately clear if that contributed in any way to the crash.
The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating and has not yet released further details.

Unacceptable. This is happening too much,
People pay attention. You could kill someone
If you hit a worker on the side of the road, you should lose your license, period. Their lives are worth more than your continued ability to drive.
People need to understand that stop signs, red lights and speed limits are NOT a suggestion! A man standing with a Stop/Slow sign is someone’s mother, father, sister, brother or son/daughter. Pay attention and slow down!
