Escambia County, FL – Multi-Vehicle Crash Reports Serious Injuries on I-10 near MM 12
Escambia County, FL (December 12, 2025) – A serious multi-vehicle crash caused injuries and a fiery pileup Thursday afternoon, December 11, along Interstate 10 in Escambia County. The collision involved three vehicles and sent at least one person to the hospital.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, the crash occurred around 4:00 p.m. on I-10 westbound near mile marker 12. Investigators said a Subaru driven by a fifty-eight-year-old man from Milton struck the rear of a Penske box truck operated by a thirty-one-year-old man from Coden, Alabama. The impact pushed the box truck forward into a Toyota Camry driven by a fifty-seven-year-old man from Loxley, Alabama.
Following the collision, both the Subaru and the box truck caught fire. Flames and smoke quickly spread, prompting an urgent emergency response. The Toyota Camry came to rest on the shoulder of the highway, away from the burning vehicles.
Emergency crews arrived quickly to assist those involved and control the fire. Paramedics treated injured individuals at the scene before transporting at least one person to a nearby hospital. Officials have not released details about the extent of the injuries or the total number of people hurt.
The crash blocked lanes of Interstate 10 and caused significant traffic disruption while crews worked to clear the scene and investigate. The investigation remains ongoing as authorities review contributing factors.
We wish those injured in this crash a full and steady recovery.
