PENSACOLA, FL - Tonight we will know whether the city of Pensacola's form of government will change.

Channel Three's Laurie Bernstein is live at the Escambia Elections Office with the latest on the charter vote.

Foot traffic through the elections office is picking up steadily as the seven o'clock deadline approaches.

As of three, over a thousand ballots had been turned in today alone.

Supervisor of Elections David Stafford is expecting a 35 to 38 percent turn out rate when all things are said and done.

As to which way the vote will turn out is anybody's guess.

We talked to plenty of people who do want change and want the city to go in a different direction with a new charter.

But, there are a lot of people afraid of a strong mayor, who holds most of the decision power.

Polls close at seven pm.

Your ballot must be in the elections office at that time.

And results should be tallied by eight.

Stay tuned to Channel Three News at ten where we'll announce the outcome of the election. Outcome of Pensacola Charter Vote Will Be Announced Tonight

February 09, 2010 06:14 EST

WESTON, Fla. (AP) -- Authorities are investigating a traffic accident in which a truck full of goats, pigs and chickens crashed into another vehicle, killing one person and several animals.

The Florida Highway Patrol says the accident happened Monday night in Broward County, about 15 miles north of Weston, when a flatbed truck jackknifed and was struck by another vehicle.

The driver of the second truck was killed, and dozens of animals thrown onto the road.

Some of the livestock escaped into the Everglades, and investigators fear they could become a road hazard.

The cause of the accident remains under investigation.
