Two people were killed and one seriously injured in a two-vehicle accident on the Apalachicola Bridge late Friday night

Two people were killed and one seriously injured in a two-vehicle accident on the Apalachicola Bridge late Friday night.

The accident happened just around midnight Friday.

The Florida Highway Patrol said the accident happened when a 35-year-old man from Winchester, Tennessee attempted to pass a vehicle on the bridge and drove his SUV into the path of a second vehicle, driven by a 29-year-old woman from Carrabelle.

The two vehicles collided, killing the drivers of both vehicles and seriously injuring the passenger in the second car, a 28-year-old woman, also from Carrabelle.

Because of the location of the accident, traffic was blocked for most of the night.

The Highway patrol was assisted on scene by the Franklin County Sheriff’s office, Franklin County EMS, the Apalachicola Police Department, the Apalachicola Fire Department and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

The Final Push, Kill the Drill Rally in Apalachicola on Monday

Hi Michael,   For 18 months, a coalition of seafood workers, fishing captains, local business owners, and people like you who care about the Apalachicola River and Bay, have stood together to preserve the culture, ecology, and heritage of our region. But, the coast isn’t clear, yet.   The Kill the Drill Bill passed with overwhelming support in the Legislature and is on its way to the Governor* With his support, the oil drilling scheme will end. We’re counting on Governor DeSantis, now more than ever.   The Governor has been a defender of the Apalachicola Bay. We want to make sure he remembers the Forgotten Coast with his continued support of seafood jobs, local businesses and ecosystems by signing the KTD Bill.   Join the Kill the Drill Coalition this Monday June 16, and bring everybody you can with you. We want a crowd so big they’ll hear us at the Governor’s Mansion. Our message: We’re counting on the Governor to bring it home. Preserve the Apalachicola River Basin’s way of life!   Afterward, we’ll have live music by the phenomenally talented “Apalachicola Sound” and delicious local oysters from our friends at Water is Life.

Florida Residents: Contact Governor DeSantis A few weeks ago, the Kill the Drill Bill passed both chambers of the Florida Legislature with overwhelming, bipartisan support. It's now headed to the desk of Governor DeSantis. *The bill (HB 1143/SB 1300) provides important protections for the economy, culture and ecology of the Apalachicola River Basin, prohibiting oil and gas drilling near Apalachicola Bay and most of the upstream river basin. Florida residents,  please urge Governor DeSantis' to sign the Kill the Drill Bill today In another win, after months of intense work and expert testimony, Apalachicola Riverkeeper’s legal challenge was validated. A Florida Administrative Law Judge issued a powerful Recommended Order that Florida DEP should deny an exploratory oil drilling permit in the Apalachicola River floodplain. The Florida DEP will issue a final determination in the coming weeks. These victories are thanks to YOU--fishermen, outdoor enthusiasts, oyster farmers, small business owners, conservationists, birders--thousands of community members who raised collective voices standing up together for the Apalachicola River, Floodplain, and Bay. Thank you! Water connects us. These incredibly positive actions prove what we can achieve together. Let's get this legislation past the finish line! Join us in urging Governor DeSantis to sign the legislation TODAY!
