WEST BAY — A Panama City Beach man was injured in a Sunday afternoon crash on State 79.
Michael Elton Barrow was traveling south on State 79 north of State 388 at about 1:20 p.m. when his 2012 Honda Accord went onto the road’s center median and traveled about 1,100 feet before crossing into the northbound lanes and onto the east shoulder of the road, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. His car then hit a culvert and a guy-wire and continued traveling into the woodline, where the front of the vehicle hit a tree. The vehicle then overturned and came to rest facing south on the east shoulder of State 79, officials said.
Barrow was taken to Bay Medical Center in critical condition, officials said.
