Sand Hills, FL : 2 dead, 1 injured in collision on State 77 in Sand Hills on Friday morning, October 28, 2016
Two Chipley residents are dead and a Pensacola man injured after a wreck Friday morning on State 77 in Sand Hills.
The Florida Highway Patrol reported a 2013 Hyundai Sonata being driven by Opal V. Radcliff, 85, of Chipley, was southbound on State 77 and was waiting to turn left onto County 388.
Witnesses said Radcliff's line of sight was blocked by a northbound vehicle also trying to turn left when she pulled in front of a 2012 Honda Accord traveling north on State 77.
The Accord, driven by Walter Lee Rappa, 29, of Pensacola, struck the front of Radcliff's vehicle, sending the Acura into a guard rail and the Hyundai onto the shoulder of State 77.
Radcliff died of her injuries. Her passenger, Wornd Keaston Radcliff, 89, died several hours later after initially sustaining critical injuries, FHP reported, and Rappa sustained minor injuries.
The northbound lanes of State 77 were closed for at least an hour after the wreck.
