Pensacola, FL - Hit-and-Run Crash at Pine Forest Rd and Nine Mile Rd

Pensacola, FL (April 30, 2025) – Authorities in Pensacola responded to a hit-and-run accident at the intersection of Pine Forest Road and West Nine Mile Road on April 29. Law enforcement and emergency crews were dispatched to the scene following reports of a collision that left at least one person with injuries.

According to initial information from the scene, the crash involved at least one vehicle whose driver fled before police arrived. The area was temporarily restricted while investigators worked to document the incident and collect evidence. EMS treated the injured individual at the scene before transporting them to a local hospital for additional care.

Witnesses reported that the collision caused a significant traffic backup in the surrounding area. Crews remained on site for a period as they worked to clear the roadway and restore normal traffic flow. Police have not yet released any descriptions of the fleeing vehicle, and the case remains under investigation by local authorities.

Law enforcement is urging anyone who may have witnessed the crash or has information about the fleeing driver to come forward. In the meantime, investigators continue to review surveillance footage from nearby businesses to assist in locating the suspect involved in the hit-and-run.

We hope those injured in this accident recover quickly.

Car Accidents in Florida

Florida sees a high volume of car accidents each year, with thousands of injuries and fatalities reported annually. According to data from the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, there were over 390,000 reported crashes across the state in 2023 alone. Many of these incidents result in long-term consequences for those involved, including physical, emotional, and financial hardships.

Understanding what happens in the aftermath of a crash can help victims and their families better prepare. Here are some common injuries frequently reported in Florida auto accidents:

  • Soft Tissue Injuries: These include whiplash, muscle strains, and ligament sprains. Though not always visible, soft tissue injuries can lead to lingering pain and reduced mobility if not treated properly.
  • Head and Brain Injuries: From concussions to traumatic brain injuries, the force of impact in a car crash can cause damage that requires extensive rehabilitation or ongoing medical care.
  • Fractures and Broken Bones: These injuries often occur when a passenger is thrown against part of the vehicle. Recovery time can be lengthy and may involve surgery or physical therapy.
  • Spinal Cord Injuries: Damage to the spine may result in chronic back pain, herniated discs, or, in severe cases, paralysis. These injuries can impact all aspects of life, from work to daily activities.
  • Internal Injuries: Blunt force trauma can harm internal organs, sometimes requiring emergency surgical intervention. These injuries are often not immediately noticeable, making prompt medical evaluation critical.

After being injured in a crash, it is vital to act quickly to protect your rights and well-being.
