SANTA ROSA BEACH — Three people walked away uninjured Wednesday after a car struck a dump truck on U.S. Highway 98, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

A 2011 Kia Optima driven by Christian Rambin, 25, of Newton, Alabama, was traveling west on U.S. 98 in the outside lane just east of County Road 395 at 11:08 a.m. when it struck the rear of a dump truck that was stopped in traffic, according to an FHP news release.

Rambin, his passenger 23-year-old Joseph Tilghman, also of Newton, and truck driver Tory Poole, 44, of DeFuniak Springs, escaped injury, the FHP said.

Everyone was wearing a seat belt and alcohol was not believed to be a factor in the crash.
