CRESTVIEW, Fla., Nov. 2, 2023—A Crestview police officer responding to an emergency call received minor injuries in a three-car accident last night.

The accident happened at the intersection of Ferdon Boulevard and E. Griffin Street around 8 p.m, according to a Florida Highway Patrol news release.

The responding officer was traveling south on Ferdon Boulevard when he came upon congestion at the Griffin Street intersection, preventing vehicles from moving out of the officer’s path.
