Fatal Crash on Munson Highway Claims Life of 23-Year-Old Milton Man, Leaves Two Others in Critical Condition
In Santa Rosa County, a tragic incident unfolded on Wednesday night, resulting in the death of a 23-year-old Milton man and critical injuries to two other men.
The crash occurred at approximately 9:30 p.m. on Munson Highway, south of Indian Ford Road in Milton. According to the Florida Highway Patrol, three Milton men, two aged 23 and another aged 20, were traveling north on Munson Highway in a pickup truck. It remains unclear at this time who was behind the wheel.
Simultaneously, a 66-year-old Milton woman was executing a left turn in her sedan from northbound Munson Highway into the Lake Kristina Campground. The pickup truck initiated a pass on the left of the sedan and subsequently collided with its left front.
The collision caused the pickup truck to overturn, ejecting all three occupants. Regrettably, a 23-year-old Milton man was pronounced dead at the scene, while the other two, a 23-year-old and a 20-year-old Milton man, sustained critical injuries and were transported to the hospital.
Fortunately, no one in the sedan suffered injuries. The investigation into the incident is ongoing, and no further details have been released at this time.
