Authorities said a 68-year-old Pensacola man died after a single-vehicle crash around noon Thursday in Milton. The wreck was reported in the 8100 block of Fish Camp Road, with additional location details indicating the pickup had been traveling southbound on Ward Basin Road.
Based on the information released so far, the man was driving a pickup truck when it continued past the end of the road and went into the Yellow River. Officials said he was pronounced dead at the scene. His name had not been publicly released as of the latest reports.
The crash appears to have involved only one vehicle. No other injuries were reported in the information available Thursday, and authorities had not released further details about what led up to the truck entering the water.
Because the reported location references both Fish Camp Road and Ward Basin Road, readers looking for official documentation may want to watch for a full Florida Highway Patrol crash report or later agency update to clarify the exact roadway description and any additional findings from the investigation.
