MILTON, FL : Two people injured in Escambia traffic accident on Wednesday, 9th November 2016

Two people received minor injuries in a Wednesday afternoon traffic accident, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

Michael Joe Barnes, 60, was driving a 2014 Dodge Ram northbound in the outside lane of U.S. Highway 29 approaching Carolina Drive.

Paula Elaine Butler, 39, of Molino, was stopped in a 2012 Chevy Malibu directly behind Richard Shadolph Mixon, 52, of Pensacola, who was driving a 1997 Ford F-150.

Mixon was stopped behind other traffic facing north in the outside lane of U.S. 29 at the intersection of Carolina Drive.

Barnes reportedly suddenly accelerated. The front right of the Ram struck the left rear of the Malibu, according to the FHP; Butler then left the roadway, traveled northeast through a ditch on the east shoulder of U.S. 29 and into the parking lot of 8124 U.S. 29. The Ram rotated clockwise and overturned, reportedly causing the hood and windshield to strike the F-150’s rear.

The Ram’s final resting point was facing east in the outside lane of U.S. 29 at the intersection of Carolina Drive. The Malibu’s final position was facing south in the parking lot of 8124 U.S. 29 north of Carolina Drive. The F-150’s final position was facing northeast on the east shoulder of U.S. 29 north of Carolina Drive.

Barnes and Mixon received minor injuries; all drivers were wearing seatbelts and alcohol was not a factor, according to the FHP. The Ram received $25,000 in damage, the Malibu, $5,000, and the F-150 $2,000.
