Airport road in Foley has become dangerous for pedestrians

On Sunday, at approximately 9:00 p.m., officers responded to a collision on County Road 65, south of Airport Road in Foley, involving a pickup truck and an electric scooter. A preliminary investigation determined that a 2006 Chevy Colorado pickup truck fatally struck two individuals who were riding the scooter.

Further investigation found that the driver of the truck was traveling northbound on County Road 65, a two-lane road with a posted speed limit of 45 MPH, and the bike was also going northbound. The driver of the truck attempted to avoid the collision and lost control of the vehicle, and it came to rest in the woods. The driver was not injured and remained on scene and cooperated with the investigating officers. There was no indication of impairment on the part of the driver, and no charges are being filed at this time. This is an ongoing investigation and drivers may experience detours or delays in the area.
