PANAMA CITY, FL – A 25-year-old Altha woman sustained serious injuries that resulted in the loss of her unborn child following a Friday evening collision on Hwy. 98 (PCB Parkway) at Vision Lane, according to a report from the Florida Highway Patrol.
Deputies, EMS and Fire Rescue crews responded to the scene and immediately began life-saving measures as they extricated the young mother-to-be from her Ford SUV and trauma-alerted her to a local hospital.
The woman was southbound on Vision Lane around 6:46 p.m. when she crossed over into the path of a westbound Toyota pickup on US Hwy. 98 without yielding to traffic. The front of the pickup t-boned the SUV, striking the left side.
The pickup driver, a 22-year-old man from Panama City, escaped with minor injures. The FHP report noted that both he and the driver from Altha were wearing their seatbelts.
The Oct. 23 crash remains under investigation by the FHP Traffic Homicide Unit.
