According to the Florida Highway Patrol, a pickup truck driven by a 28-year-old Crestview resident was travelling west in an eastbound lane of I-10 in Washington County. At about 7:47 p.m. Jan. 31, the driver of the pickup truck collided with the left front side of a tractor trailer driven by a 36-year-old Pensacola resident.
