Quincy, FL – Pedestrian Killed in Vehicle-Pedestrian Crash on W Jefferson St

Quincy, FL (November 14, 2025) – A deadly vehicle-pedestrian crash on Thursday, November 13, claimed the life of a Madison resident along West Jefferson Street near South 11th Street. The collision happened around 3:25 a.m. when a westbound Dodge Charger struck a pedestrian.

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, a 29-year-old woman from Marianna drove the Dodge Charger on West Jefferson Street. She attempted to stop but could not avoid the impact. The man, a 58-year-old resident of Madison, came to rest within the westbound lanes while the vehicle stopped on the median.

Emergency responders rushed the man to HCA Gadsden Emergency Hospital. Despite lifesaving efforts, he later died from his injuries. Authorities notified his next of kin. The driver sustained minor injuries and wore a seatbelt at the time of the crash.

After the investigation and cleanup, first responders reopened the westbound lanes. Troopers continue reviewing the events that led to this tragic crash, and the investigation remains active.

We extend our deepest condolences to the family and friends of the man who lost his life.

Fatal Pedestrian Accidents in Quincy

Fatal pedestrian crashes like the recent one happen far too often in Quincy and throughout Northwest Florida. Busy roadways, low-light conditions, and early-morning travel hours can make visibility difficult for both drivers and pedestrians. When a tragedy occurs, families face overwhelming grief and financial strain during an already painful time.

A wrongful death can leave surviving loved ones with unexpected expenses, including funeral costs, medical bills, and the loss of a family member’s support. These emotional and financial burdens can feel impossible to manage alone. Families in situations like this often seek help from a qualified Quincy personal injury lawyer who understands wrongful death claims in the Florida Panhandle and can guide them through every step.

Some of the most important steps families can take after a fatal accident include:

  • Gathering medical and accident records to support their claim
  • Documenting financial losses, including lost wages and funeral expenses
  • Speaking with investigators or witnesses to ensure accurate reports
  • Connecting with a lawyer who can explain legal options and protect the family’s rights

Legal claims in fatal pedestrian crashes may provide compensation for end-of-life medical care, funeral costs, lost earning potential, and emotional suffering. Every case is different, and families deserve clear guidance from someone who knows how to navigate complex insurance processes and legal requirements.
