The WCSO is on scene at a major vehicle crash just north of the Clyde B. Wells Bridge on Hwy. 331. Due to road blockage and injuries, 331 is blocked both north and south bound lanes. Travellers are asked to avoid 331 between Freeport and the intersection of Hwy. 98 and 331 until the hazard is cleared. Drivers should use caution and pay close attention to law enforcement and fire officials on the scene.

The Florida Highway Patrol was investigating the wreck, but had released no details as of 8:45 p.m. However, FHP reported that traffic was still blocked in both directions.
A Waste Management dump truck and a Ford sport utility vehicle were collided, according to Mike Morrison, spokesman for the Walton County Sheriff’s Office.
The driver of the SUV was pronounced dead at the scene.

I just got into town and the detour is still in place. Yikes.

ShallowsNoleBeach FanaticPt Washington4,279 postsJoined View profileMessageBeach FanaticLaGrange & 331 is a horrible spot. I knew three people who have lost their lives there, and I'm embarrassed to admit that once upon a time, I almost took myself and the people stopped ahead of me out. (I didn't hit them, but it was close and it would have been totally my fault.) It is very easy to get distracted and not pay attention, and people northbound waiting to turn left onto LaGrange are sitting ducks.
