Freeport, FL - Crash With Injuries on US-331 at Bay Grove Rd

Freeport, FL (July 25, 2025) – A crash involving injuries and a temporary roadblock occurred Wednesday evening, July 23, on United States Highway 331 at Bay Grove Road in Freeport. Authorities received the emergency call around 7:20 p.m., leading local fire rescue, police, and EMS crews to respond swiftly.

Upon arrival, first responders found a multi-vehicle crash scene with injuries reported among the occupants. Medical personnel assisted those hurt and transported at least one person to a nearby hospital for further treatment. The crash led to a temporary road closure at the intersection of US Highway 331 and Bay Grove Road as crews worked to secure the scene and investigate the cause.

Traffic delays affected the surrounding area into the evening hours. Officials with the Florida Highway Patrol were present to assist with managing traffic flow and documenting crash evidence. The full cause of the crash remains under review, and more details will be released as the investigation progresses.

We hope those injured in this crash recover swiftly.

Car Accidents in Florida

Across Florida, thousands of vehicle accidents occur each year on both major highways and smaller local roads. In 2023, over 390,000 traffic crashes were reported statewide, many resulting in serious injuries. Areas like US-331 can become especially dangerous during high-traffic times, making vigilance essential for all drivers.

Understanding what can increase the chances of injury on the road is critical. Here are some insights into common injuries associated with motor vehicle crashes:

• Shoulder and Arm Injuries: In side-impact or high-speed crashes, arms and shoulders can be forcefully thrown or pinned. These injuries often require physical therapy or surgery depending on severity.
• Internal Organ Damage: High-speed impacts can cause internal bleeding or damage to the kidneys, liver, or lungs. These injuries may not be visible right away but can be life-threatening if untreated.
• Facial Injuries: Broken glass or airbag deployment can result in cuts, bruises, or fractures to the face. These injuries may involve both cosmetic and reconstructive treatment.
• Psychological Trauma: It's not uncommon for crash victims to experience emotional distress, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress after a serious wreck. Mental health care may be part of the long-term recovery process.
• Soft Tissue Damage: Damage to muscles, ligaments, or tendons—often referred to as soft tissue injuries—can linger long after a crash and limit physical function.

After any crash that causes injury, contacting a knowledgeable car accident attorney should be a top priority. Legal counsel can help preserve evidence, work with insurers, and make sure your recovery is not held back by red tape. The sooner help is secured, the stronger your case can be.
