One
person was killed and another seriously injured in a single car accident in
Gulf county Thursday night.
The
Highway patrol said 23 year old John Paul Tinsley of Callaway was killed at
about 9 o’clock Thursday night when the car in which he was a passenger crashed
on county road 386 about 4 miles north of Mexico beach.
The
car, a 1998 Corvette, was being driven by 24 year old Carl Wilson of Port St.
Joe.
The
Highway patrol reports that Mister Wilson was speeding north on County road 386
and failed to negotiate a curve when the car left the roadway.
Mister
Wilson overcorrected trying to bring the car back on the roadway and drove back
across the road before the car flipped over, partially ejecting the driver.
Mister
Wilson received only minor injuries in the accident; a second passenger in the
car, 22 year old Vanessa Ann Raynor of Mexico Beach, was seriously injured.
The
Highway patrol said the driver had been drinking.
