Three people were killed in a single-vehicle crash at Cervantes and M Street in Pensacola, Florida, on October 24, 2026, according to Pensacola Police.
Police said the vehicle struck a barrier at M Street and Cervantes. Reports differed about its direction of travel. The vehicle caught fire after the impact. Authorities confirmed three deaths. The Navy subsequently identified all three sailors.
The department issued information about the crash shortly after 2 a.m. Saturday. Police later identified approximately 1:35 a.m. as the time they received the crash report, rather than a confirmed time of impact.
The Navy identified Aviation Ordnanceman Airman Apprentice Drekwon Bagley and Aviation Ordnanceman Airman Recruit Francois Longdayeyambete, both assigned to Naval Air Technical Training Center, and Airman Apprentice David Deanda, assigned to Naval Aviation Schools Command. Both commands operate at Naval Air Station Pensacola.
Bagley was from Michigan and enlisted May 14, 2026. Longdayeyambete was from Massachusetts and enlisted July 9; Deanda was from California and enlisted June 4. Pensacola police led the crash investigation. Navy Times also reported that NCIS was investigating alongside local police. No final cause or confirmed identity of the driver was provided in the reports reviewed.
