‘Bradley was such a good guy’: Tate High mourns student Bradley Ellertson who died in crash
A 17-year-old Tate High School student died Friday after a semi-truck collided with a Kia Soul at the intersection of County Road 196 and U.S. Highway 29 in Escambia County.
Bradley Ellertson’s mother, Krystal Stone, says her son was sitting in the passenger seat of the sedan as Ellertson’s 16-year-old girlfriend drove the car. A Florida Highway Patrol report says another 16-year-old was also in the vehicle.
“Bradley was such a good guy, and I know right now with me crying and me upset … he would say, ‘It’s OK, mom. It was just an accident,'” Stone told the News Journal.
