MAN CRUSHED BETWEEN CARS IN CRASH
Aug 9
A man remains in critical condition this morning at Baptist Hospital in Pensacola after a horrific accident in South Walton County Sunday afternoon.
State Troopers say 62-year-old Christopher Dickinson of Santa Rosa Beach was crushed while standing between two cars at Hwy. 98 and County Road 283 about 1:30 yesterday.
Dickinson was a passenger in a separate vehicle that had just been involved in a previous crash. While the drivers of the first two vehicles were exchanging information, a 2006 Mazda struck the rear of one of the stopped vehicles. The drivers jumped out of the way just in time but Dickinson was pinned between the two front cars upon impact. As the first vehicle rolled forward, Dickinson fell free onto the pavement.
He was rushed to Pensacola’s Baptist Hospital where he underwent emergency surgery and remains in the surgical intensive care unit in critical condition this morning.
Troopers charged 36-year-old Emily A. Hoyt of Covington, Kentucky with Careless Driving.
