Milton, FL (June 19, 2025) – On June 18, a crash at the intersection of U.S. Highway 90 and Cardinal Street resulted in injuries and a temporary roadblock in the Milton area. Emergency units were dispatched around 3:51 p.m. and quickly arrived on the scene to assess the situation and assist those involved.

At least one person was injured in the accident and received on-site medical attention before being transported to a nearby hospital. Traffic in the area was affected as law enforcement officers and emergency personnel worked to clear the roadway and investigate the cause of the crash.

We hope those injured in this accident recover quickly.

Car Accidents in Florida

Each year, thousands of people are injured in motor vehicle accidents across Florida. In 2023, the state recorded over 390,000 reported crashes, leading to more than 250,000 injuries. Many of these crashes occur on heavily traveled roadways like U.S. Highway 90, where visibility, speed, and intersections can all play a role. Agencies like the Florida Highway Patrol work diligently to respond to these incidents and keep our roads safe.

After any crash, understanding the effects of injuries can help victims focus on recovery. Here are common injuries people face:

  • Back and Spinal Injuries: Back injuries are one of the most reported results of vehicle crashes. These can include herniated discs, nerve damage, or spinal fractures. Recovery may involve surgery and extended physical therapy.
  • Traumatic Brain Injuries: Traumatic brain injuries range from concussions to more severe damage. These injuries can disrupt memory, mood, and everyday functioning. Even mild TBIs may require prolonged treatment.
  • Neck and Whiplash Injuries: Common in rear-end accidents, whiplash can cause chronic pain and reduced range of motion. Even if symptoms are delayed, they can significantly interfere with daily activities and employment.
  • Broken Bones: Fractures are painful and often require surgery or immobilization. Victims may face long recovery periods and physical limitations that impact both personal and work life.
  • Cuts and Bruises: Flying debris or broken glass can cause serious lacerations or contusions. These injuries may need stitches and sometimes leave permanent scarring.
  • Emotional Distress: Psychological impacts are often overlooked. Anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress can linger after physical injuries heal, affecting a victim’s long-term well-being.
