Fort Walton Beach, FL (October 25, 2018) - Police have charged a 30-year-old Fort Walton Beach resident with careless driving following a six-car crash that occurred on Monday, October 22nd.
Shaun Robertson was driving a black F-150 on Eglin Parkway when his truck veered over the centerline and sideswiped four cars waiting to turn left. The truck then continued on and struck a fifth car before coming to rest. Robertson was later extricated from his vehicle by members of the Fort Walton Beach Fire Department.
Two passengers in Robertson's vehicle were transferred to Fort Walton Beach Medical Center by ambulance. Two other individuals involved in the crash later transported themselves to the hospital also for further evaluation. There is no word on the extent of injuries sustained.
Police located controlled substances in Walton's vehicle. The crash remains under investigation.
