One person was injured Monday afternoon when their vehicle flipped after hitting a deer.

The accident happened about 12:14 on Highway 97 about a half mile south of Highway 164 in Walnut Hill, near the Union Primitive Baptist Church.

The Florida Highway Patrol says Antoinette Franklin, 34, of Juniper Street in Walnut Hill was southbound on Highway 97 when she struck a deer near the church. She lost control of her 1995 Pontiac Grand Am, running off the road and flipping the car onto its side in a field on the northbound side of the highway.

Franklin was not believed to have been seriously injured in the accident. She had crawled out of the vehicle and was sitting in the vehicle of a passing motorist when the Walnut Hill Volunteer Fire Department arrived.

She was transported by ambulance to Atmore Community Hospital.

The FHP says Franklin was wearing her seatbelt.
