An 18-wheeler driver thought she hit a pedestrian in Molino early Friday morning, but she later discovered that she did not.

The driver of the big rig told authorities she thought she had ran over a black male walking in the roadway near Highway 29 and Highway 97 about 5:30 a.m.

Firefighters from Escambia County Fire Rescue’s Molino Station found the man at the Tom Thumb. Authorities said it appeared he was drunk or high on drugs, but it did not appear that he had been struck by a vehicle. The man, who thought he was walking near or toward Ozark, Ala., complained of swollen feet.

He was transported to Jay Hospital by Escambia County EMS.

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office also responded to the call.
