FHP: Driver Collides With Train At Escambia County Railroad Crossing
August 10, 2026
A 74-year-old Pensacola man sustained minor injuries after failing to stop at a railroad crossing and colliding with an oncoming train in Escambia County on Sunday morning, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The incident occurred as the driver of a 2018 Honda CR-V was traveling westbound on Airport Boulevard, approaching the railroad crossing at Memory Lane.
According to state troopers, the railroad crossing arms were fully lowered and the crossing’s red lights were actively flashing. The approaching southbound train was also sounding its horn as it neared the intersection.
Troopers report that the driver failed to stop, traveling beneath the crossing arm and onto the tracks. The right side of the Honda CR-V then struck the passing train.
The driver was cited for careless driving.
