Molino, FL – Fatal Pickup and Semi-Truck Collision at Hwy 29 & Hwy 196

Molino, FL (September 29, 2025) – A deadly crash in Molino on Sunday morning, September 28, claimed the life of a 35-year-old Pensacola man.

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, the collision occurred at approximately 2:25 a.m. at the intersection of Highway 29 and Highway 196. Investigators reported that the Pensacola man drove eastbound on Highway 196 when his pick-up truck entered the path of a southbound semi-truck traveling along Highway 29.

The impact caused severe damage. Emergency crews transported the pickup driver to Sacred Heart Hospital. Sadly, he was later pronounced deceased. Authorities confirmed that the semi-truck driver, a 54-year-old man from Pensacola, also sustained injuries.

Troopers closed the area for several hours while they investigated the crash and worked to clear the roadway.

The Florida Highway Patrol continues to investigate.

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

Truck Accidents in Northwest Florida

Truck accidents often result in catastrophic consequences due to the size and weight of commercial vehicles. Highways across Northwest Florida, see heavy truck traffic, which increases the risk of severe collisions.

Several factors commonly contribute to deadly truck accidents like the one in Molino:

  • Drivers running stop signs or failing to yield at intersections
  • Fatigue or drowsy driving during early morning hours
  • Limited visibility in low-light conditions
  • Misjudging the speed and distance of oncoming traffic
  • Distracted or impaired driving behaviors

Any one of these factors can lead to devastating outcomes when passenger vehicles and semi-trucks collide. Because of the sheer force involved, occupants in the vehicles are at much greater risk of serious injury or death.

For families and victims, the aftermath of a truck crash can be overwhelming. They may face financial hardship from lost income, medical bills, and funeral expenses, in addition to emotional devastation. When negligence plays a role, families may be able to benefit from compensation with the help of a personal injury lawyer in order to seek justice and financial relief.
