Four Teens Escape Burning Pickup in McDavid After Highway 29 Crash

November 26, 2025

Four teens were in a regular cab pickup truck that burst into flames after crashing in McDavid.

One of the teens was transported to an area hospital following the crash; the other three were not seriously injured.

The crash happened around 4:53 Monday evening on Highway 29 near Highway 164, across from the McDavid Fire Station.

The pickup truck left the roadway and crashed through a fence next to the Kynette’s Place convenience store. It came to rest overturned in the yard of an adjacent home before catching fire.

The occupants were able to escape the truck on their own before the fire was extinguished by Escambia County Fire Rescue.

The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating.

    To the mother of the driver, bless your heart…I can’t imagine how scared you were. To the people talking about needing to clean up the man’s yard – the insurance usually covers property damage. If not, we can get some folks together and do it. Just glad those young folks are alive.

    I’m the Mother of the passenger that was transported to the hospital, my Son is ok but only by the grace of God, If it had not been for the other passengers pulling my Son out, my Son told me he was to weak to continue to crawl out of the burning vehicle, So I think God my Son is still alive, If there is anything I can do to help put things back in order in the gentleman’s yard they landed in, I will be more than happy too.

    If you have a teen child please consider not allowing them to have passengers as there are already too many distractions. Thank God everyone survived the crash.

    As the mother of the driver the boys an I did pick up what was allowed by the state trooper that night the wrecker service was to remove everything else.. As far as property damages my insurance is taking care of that.. The boys were injured but alive so they are trying to recover.. we appreciate all the prayers

    I’m extremely happy the young boys survived. It was a horrifying scene.
    It would have been appreciated if the young boys and/or parents would have returned to the elderly gentleman’s home where their truck landed in his yard to assist in cleaning up the damage in his yard, the broken fence, broken burned pieces scattered everywhere, broken beer bottles… and other items!! but not to worry.. that’s what neighbors are for..
