Driver Trapped, Seriously Injured In Highway 29 Rollover Crash
February 1, 2009
A Pensacola woman was seriously injured on a single vehicle accident south of Molino late Saturday afternoon.
Allie L. Hall, 22, of Pensacola was listed in serious condition at Sacred Heart Hospital Saturday night following the accident, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Hall was trapped in her overturned vehicle for nearly an hour while firemen worked to free her. She was reported to be trapped partially under her 2001 Ford car.
The accident happened about 4:45 on Highway 29 between Mathison Road and Quintette Road. Witnesses say she was northbound on Highway 29 when she lost control of the vehicle and flipped several times across the southbound lane.
The vehicle came to rest on its side just a few feet from the edge of a concrete culvert and an area filled with water. Firemen worked to stabilize the vehicle and prevent it from overturning into the water while they used the Jaws of Life to extricate Hall from the car. There were no other occupants.
Hall was transported to Sacred Heart Hospital by the hospital’s AIRHeart helicopter. The helicopter is based in Walton County, but was at Sacred Heart Hospital at the time of the call.
Hall reportedly told a witness that she is pregnant.
The accident shut down the southbound lanes of Highway 29 for over an hour. The northbound lanes were shut down as the AIRHeart helicopter landed and took off from the southbound lanes.
The Molino and Cantonment stations of Escambia Fire Rescue responded to the call, along with Escambia County EMS, the Escambia County Sheriff’s Department and the Florida Highway Patrol.
The accident is under investigation by the FHP. The FHP says charges are pending the outcome of that investigation.
