A four vehicle crash halted traffic on the Bob Sikes Bridge over the weekend, per local police.  A fifty four year old driver of a 2005 Ford F-150 pickup from Pensacola, Florida was going across the bridge and did not slow down his vehicle to traffic that had been stopped, per the Florida Highway Patrol.

As a result, the man’s truck smashed into the rear end of a 2015 Volkswagen Jetta that was being operated by a twenty eight year old man, from Pensacola, Florida.  The driver of the Jetta and his twenty eight six year old passenger, a male from Pensacola, Florida, sustained minor, non-life threatening injuries in the accident.
