Panama City Beach, FL (September 23, 2025) – A serious two-vehicle crash with injuries occurred Monday afternoon at the busy intersection of Panama City Beach Parkway (US-98) and North Glades Trail.
The accident was reported shortly after 12:10 p.m., prompting an urgent response from Bay County Fire and EMS, including Rescue 32 and Engine 32. According to emergency communications, one person was found unresponsive inside a vehicle, while another was sitting outside the car following the collision. Airbags were deployed in at least one vehicle, and responders acted quickly to assess both individuals and begin treatment.
This section of Panama City Beach Pkwy is known for heavy traffic and frequent turning movements, especially around midday when both tourist and local traffic peaks. Emergency responders remained at the scene to assist the injured and secure the intersection while an investigation into the crash was initiated.
At least one person was transported to a nearby medical facility for further care. The current condition of the unresponsive individual has not been publicly released.
Our thoughts are with the individuals involved, and we hope for a full and swift recovery for both patients.
Intersection Collisions and Injury Risks in Florida
Crashes at busy intersections—such as the one at Panama City Beach Parkway and North Glades Trail—remain one of the leading causes of injury-related traffic incidents in Florida. These areas often combine high vehicle volume, multi-lane traffic, and complex signal patterns, creating conditions ripe for side-impact collisions, rear-end crashes, and rollover risks.
In Monday’s incident, the presence of airbags and the report of an unresponsive occupant suggest a high-impact collision. Situations like these often result in serious trauma, especially when victims remain inside the vehicle following the crash. The speed of medical response can play a pivotal role in patient outcomes, making the fast arrival of Bay County EMS essential.
For those involved in such accidents, the physical and emotional aftermath can be overwhelming. Hospitalization, follow-up care, insurance claims, and lost income are all common challenges faced in the days and weeks that follow.
It’s critical for injured individuals and their families to connect with support systems early. Understanding your rights and seeking the proper medical, legal, and financial resources can make a meaningful difference during recovery.
