The Highway patrol says texting and
driving may have contributed to a two car accident in Gulf County
Wednesday morning that left a Pensacola woman in critical condition.
48 year old Tawanda Denise Collins was
taken to Bay Medical Center in Panama City after her car drifted
across the center line on Highway 98 and collided with another car
driven by Delia Maricela Lopez of Port St. Joe.
The Highway patrol said Collins was
heading east on Highway 98 near Pine Street at about 9 o'clock
Wednesday morning when her 2016 Chevy Sonic drifted into the
westbound lane directly into the path of a KIA Optima driven by Mrs.
Lopez.
The investigator said they do not know
the exact cause of the crash but a cell phone was found in the right
front passengers side floorboard where Collins was found unconscious.
The phone was locked so officers were
unable to determine if it was in use at the time of the crash.
Charges are pending against Collins;
Lopez was charged with driving without a drivers license.
